Tips:
- To achieve a crispy crust on your pot roast, ensure that the meat is seared on all sides over medium-high heat before adding the liquid.
- Use a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid to ensure that the pot roast cooks evenly and stays moist.
- Browning the vegetables before adding them to the pot adds a rich flavor and depth to the sauce.
- If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, add a little bit of water or broth to thin it out.
- Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or spaetzle for a complete and delicious meal.
