Fabulous pot roast -- we loved the tangy flavor of the balsamic vinegar which really penetrated the carrots and onions. The meat turned out really tender and the gravy was delicious. Definitely a recipe that I will make again and again.

Very good roast, especially considering I used chuck which was on sale. I didn't have any canned tomatoes, so used 1 tomato cut-up instead. Thanks for sharing!

Yum, yum, yum!! A very nicely flavored roast that tasted even better the next day. I threw in some celery and mushrooms - which absorbed the flavors and added their own. The family loved it so I'll make this one again. Thanks Mikekey.

This is absolutely delicious! I added different veggies, but that didn't change the taste. This is just great! Thanks Mikekey! Will be made again for sure!

This is an awesome tasting roast!! I used a moose roast for this and crushed tomatoes instead of diced and followed instructions as listed with great results. The meat was tender and juicy. A keeper recipe.
