Romantic Never Fail Pot Roast

I have been making this Pot Roast since the 1970's . I think I found the original recipe in the 'Republican WIves Cookbook'. This is a no fail recipe that is always delicious and is real comfort food. This is the basic recipe that can be switched around by adding vegetables or cutting up the meat.

1 4=5 lb Pot Roast (I always like to use a chuck roast as they are more tender)
1 can mushroom soup (do not, and I mean do not use the low fat version)
1 pkg dry Lipton dry onion soup mix
12-24 oz red wine
salt and pepper
flour
olive oil

1. Dry meat, salt and pepper and coat with flour
2. Brown meat for 6-8 mins on each side till brown in dutch oven
3. Mix: dry and wet soup and wine
4. Pour over meat and bake in oven for 6 hours at 300 F. or cook all day in crock pot. Enjoy with any kind of potatoes or noodles.

Optional: Made add 4 sliced onions, 6 whole garlic cloves, 1 lb of carrots.
I like to triple the recipe and cook in roaster oven, eat some for dinner and then freeze the rest for night when I don't want to cook.
