Best Italian Pot Roast image

This recipe was given to me by my mother's friend when I was a newlywed. I was in a panic over what to serve to guests, and she suggested this. It was a big hit, and I've continued serving it for the past 40 years.

I've tried many pot roast recipes, and this one is by far the best. The meat is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is to die for.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the pot roast turned out tough and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made this recipe several times, and it always turns out great. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of red wine to the sauce.
