This recipe has received rave reviews over at MyRecipes! Readers have loved it – let’s take a look at what they’ve had to say about this roast:
This was my first time cooking a pot roast OMG! It was the best pot roast I’ve ever eaten in my life. I followed the recipe exactly except I added a couple of tablespoons of flour after the onions were sauteed then deglazed with just a little of the wine, I also added mushrooms with the carrots and potatoes and it was superb! The gravy came out perfect, not thin and not too thick. I can’t wait to eat the leftovers tonight. I will definitely be making this again and again and again and would not hesitate to serve to company.
