This was a lovely unique way of cooking a roast. Perfect for warm weather as it is lighter than a roast with potatoes and thick gravy. I sliced the beef and poured some of the juices over. Very, very tasty. The prep is quite easy and the flavor is great, can't get much better than that. -
I put this in the crock pot over night because my roast was frozen. By the time I got home from work the next day it was done and falling off the fork. I added a few small potatoes and a little bit more water but otherwise kept to the recipe. -
This was DELICIOUS!! I must admit, this was my maiden voyage with cooking pot roast. I have such fond memories of my grandmother's version that I haven't been able to bring myself to try my hand at it until this recipe... and in the crock pot, it couldn't have been easier! I substituted the Italian dressing mix for onion soup mix, and added an onion. I was also a bit more liberal with the wine (a la Julia Childs). It was fantastic. THANK YOU SO MUCH for an excellent recipe!! My grandmother would be so pleased :-) -
We liked the roast and the way it just fell apart, but loved the veggies! An easy to prepare recipe that did not need any extra salt. Next time I am going to double the garlic & mushrooms! Thanks. -
Fantastic, Mom! Daniel asked me if this was your recipe and I said yes. He responded, enthusiastically, "This is GREAT!" I'll be making this regularly. I used beef broth instead of the wine, because we are on Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet, and I did not add the carrots for the same reason. Served with sauteed green beans (would have added bacon, but we didn't have any left after breakfast). Thanks for another great low-carb recipe!
