This is nearly the identical recipe I made for my mother one Mom's Day, except it called for Beefy-onion soup mix. To die for! We served it with roasted red potatoes and were in heaven. I highly recommend trying this. -
This is a fantastic recipe. I cooked it in my slow cooker on low for 8 hours. I browned the roast first but this isn't necessary if time doesn't permit. I love red wine as a base for the broth. -
This was a really good roast. I put all of the ingredients in the crockpot for 7hrs ,and then I had a very tender roast. The only thing I didn't add was the mushrooms ,but I think next time I will try them. Thanks Mystergirl for such a delightful and easy main course. -
Outstanding recipe...so easy for the flavorful results. Made for French Food Fun in Cooking Photos. -
Great pot roast recipe, Mysterygirl!. I made it in my crockpot. Quick and easy, and I was out the door. I added some carrots in the bottom of the pot, but otherwise made the recipe exactly. However, When I make it again I will use 1 cup water and 1 cup wine. It was a little heavy on the wine for my taste, but otherwise a very good recipe.

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
