Delicious! Easy! Rich tasting! Even steak & potatoes men will enjoy this tasty twist on pot roast. I try to make this recipe weekly, and it's better the 2nd day. Can be made in Crockpot. Received this from a church member who is a Home Economics professor. I first made this for my boyfriend, who is married to me now...partially for my cooking, he jokes!

The carrots and potatoes were a bit undercooked for my taste, but the meat was fall-apart tender and the gravy was delicious.

The meat was a little tough (I used chuck roast). Maybe I should have cooked it longer?

I thought the 3-cup liquid requirement was a bit too much. The pot roast came out swimming in liquid after 8 hours. Still tasty, just a bit soupy. Next time I will probably only use 2 cups liquid.

Mine came out a bit too salty for our family but still a great recipe!

I used a 3-pound chuck roast and cooked it for 6 hours on low in my slow cooker. The meat was very tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The gravy was flavorful and not too thick.

This pot roast was fall-apart tender and flavorful. My family loved it. I used chuck roast and cooked it in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours with the vegetables and a cup of water. Everything turned out perfectly, with lots of delicious gravy.
