"I usually add in about 1/3 cup of dry red wine in with the beef broth it really brings up the flavor and helps to tenderize the meat, use as much garlic as you like since I am an extreme garlic lover I use a whole bulb and then I add even more whole garlic cloves in with the beef broth, use only sodium beef broth only for this and no added salt until the end of cooking, the amounts are only a guideline and may be adjusted, frozen baby onions may be used in place of chopped yellow onion Plan ahead the roast needs to sit at room temperature for 1-1/2 hours before browning"

We have been sticking to comfort meals this past month or so and I was happy to try this pot roast. I did add extra potatoes, and left out the turnip. The meat and gravy I made was full of flavor and the roast was really tender and so delicious. My family requested we have this again throughout the winter months, so we are adding it to our list to make again!

We loved this pot roast, Kitten. We had pretty much given up on chuck roasts due to texture and blandness. Your roast was so flavorful and tender, without being stringy. Try this recipe, you won't be disappointed!

This was very easy and VERY yummy. The flavor was amazing. I followed the recipe exactly as written, which is rare for me. I can always count on your recipes to be Five Star plus.
