An easy and delicious way to sneak in some veggies!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Now, this pot roast is a hearty meal! But for as satisfying as it is, the vegetables help keep an air of lightness. Once roasted, the pot roast is extremely tender. It falls apart when serving. We really enjoyed the thick and creamy sour cream gravy. Delicious, it's filled with dill flavor. Wonderful drizzled over the vegetables and pot roast.
