Classic Pot Roast With Garlic-Thyme Gravy image

Boneless beef chuck roast is ideal for this recipe; the tough meat becomes tender and succulent when cooked with moisture for a long time. Trim away as much fat as possible to keep the sauce from becoming greasy.

This pot roast is a great make-ahead meal. I like to make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week. It's also great for leftovers.

This pot roast is a classic comfort food. The meat is fall-apart tender and the gravy is rich and flavorful. I love serving this with mashed potatoes and green beans.

This pot roast was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

The pot roast was delicious! The meat was cooked to perfection and the gravy was so flavorful. I didn't have any garlic or thyme on hand, so I used onion and rosemary instead. It still turned out great.
