Excellent. I've made this several times and it's a favorite at our house! -
Excellent pot roast. I made as listed up to the browning stage then I transfered the meat to a roasting pan with a lid. I mixed the other ingredients together and added them to the frying pan, brought to the boil then poured over the meat in roasting pan. Covered and cooked at 150'C for about 4hrs. I added the mushrooms and continued cooking for another 30-45 mins. Removed the meat and wrapped in tinfoil to rest. I poured the gravy into a pot and because we like our gravy a little thicker I added an instant pkt of roast meat gravy mix, simmered for a few mins and served in a gravy boat. We had friends for dinner and they thought it wonderful. I served with roast potatoes, roast pumpkin, steamed carrot slices & baby peas. A real 'home cooked' meal. The guests went home with the recipe LOL :) A keeper for sure. -
Excellent! I love this roast; it turned out so tender and flavorful. It was wonderful with some mashed potatoes and a salad. Thanks for sharing! -
Great recipe. this is not your mothers Pot Roast the kids even like it. To save time I cooked it in the presure cooker it was almost as good. -
Made this yesterday and it was really great. I used a cast iron dutch oven and cooked it for about 4 hours.

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend.
Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
