li'l ole winemaker pot roast
This is a recipe that my mother got from a friend and it is the most delicious pot roast ever! And so simple! Everyone loves it. The gravy it makes is to die for! I never make beef roast any other way! It can also be made in a slow cooker, just remove the roast when done, move the liquid to a pot or pan, and thicken as directed.
