Does anybody here know how to cook a roast?

I don't think I ever have. My grocery had a twofer deal, that essentially resulted in the meat costing $3.75/pound. So I have two roasts sitting in my fridge. I want to cook them both, then freeze most of it, packaged for future use.

BUT...I don't know how to cook it. I just know that my mother cooked it until it was dry as leather. Which is probably why I never bought and cooked it myself.

Your suggestions are greatly appreciated!

@BlueStateBabe My Mom was an expert roast cooker, also my Hubby and myself 🥰
Use a large pot (Dutch oven) you can cover and put in the oven.
Cut a whole large onion into about 5 slices and put on the bottom of the pot.
Place roast on top.
Salt and pepper to desire.
(Less salt if adding soy sauce)
Fill pot with beef stock/broth to 1/4 inch of top of roast, but not covering.
Add 1 bay leaf.
Here’s a choice: add a dash of either red wine or Worcestershire Sauce or soy sauce.
