EASY JAMAICAN POT ROAST
My friend Clint gave me this recipe, I've changed it slightly, This pot roast is wonderful served with Rice & Peas, roasted potatoes and the spicy gravy it cooks in. Put it on the stove and sit back and relax. For a hot n' spicy roast add 1 pepper, for a spicier roast add 2 peppers and for the (on fire) spiciest roast and gravy add 3 peppers but Please beware ... THESE ARE HOT!...I kid you not. Scotch bonnet peppers are also known as habaneros.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast or brisket are good options for pot roast because they are tough cuts that become tender when cooked slowly.
- Brown the beef before braising. This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid. Beef broth, red wine, or even beer can all be used to create a delicious pot roast.
- Add vegetables to the pot roast. Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic additions to pot roast.
- Cook the pot roast low and slow. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will become.
- Serve the pot roast with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles are all good options.
