This is a pot roast that I've made for years. It's one of the best pot roast recipes that I've ever had. I clipped it out of a magazine and I it's been so long I don't remember which one it was. The recipe is tried and true....you can follow it exactly and it's been no fail for me every time! Better have a lot of bread or rolls for sopping up the gravy...You'll want every drop!
