This as a delicious fall apart tender pot roast recipe, I cook it slow, and it is smothered in a heavenly gravy that is made with sweet carrots, onions, celery and perfect seasoning. I love to side my pot roast with mashed potatoes and homemade dinner rolls, it is a meal fit for a King. This hearty dinner recipe takes me back to my childhood when my mom often fixed it on weekends and it was one plate I licked clean. This pot roast recipe can be prepared with no effort at all, and it is a meal that is complete. Nothing beats a classic pot roast dinner, it is a perfect meal to serve when having company or just a special treat for the family...I always choose a nice big chuck roast, then season it well, prep it and before you know it you have a hearty delicious dinner ready to impress. Along with my seasoning, I like to add fresh rosemary, thyme, garlic and good chicken and beef stock and 1 good Tbsp of bacon grease for added flavor. My pot roast is ready to enjoy after about 3 hours, every minute is worth it.

INGREDIENTS ... 325° (3 hours)
3&1/2 LB. Chuck roast (NOT shoulder if possible) (look for the marbling)

    I’m a Chicana born and raised in Tucson Arizona my father ,mother and nana we’re excellent cooks and I inherited their talents. I’ve always been told what a good cook I was and living in Chicago I learned many comfort food recipes so that added to my experience. But since I started watching your videos a week ago I don’t get tired of them. You are teaching me so much l love watching you 💜

    I am 61 years old, and my mother never really taught me to cook, other than soups. I’ve always wanted to know what the best way to make a pot roast, and you have taught me. Thankyou! 👍🏻🤗
  • @wendyhall8834
    I've watched this video numerous times! Made this pot roast numerous times! Great recipe! Love her calm voice and simple directions!
  • My husband decided that we make pot roast for 2022 thanksgiving instead of traditional turkey. Thank you for sharing your recipe Rachel!
  • @felixvega5890
    Hello Rachel! I’m a 67yo man who has gradually learned about how to appreciate the skill, grace and love that goes into cooking good food. You, my friend, are a true natural. You made me want to watch, smell and taste that roast every step of the way. Thank you for sharing that experience with us all!🙏😋
  • Rachel is such a good teacher, she explains EVERYTHING. Thanks to Rachel, I am becoming a good cook. Thank you Rachel!
  • Made the pot roast last night and knew that this is the recipe I will go back to. My only difference in making this was I used beef stock as I didn't have chicken. When it came time to skimming the grease, I discarded the veggies and poured the gravy into my gravy separator; find it easier than spooning. I added baby yukon potatoes to the roast. A very delicious and satisfying meal. Thank you Rachel.

    Hi Rachel I used to cook my pot roast like that when I first got married and that is like 56 years ago I stopped putting flour on my pot roast because of the extra calories. But I'm going to go back to doing that again I've never put tomato paste or tomatoes in my pot roast but I'm going to try that I'm 77 years old and I still like to cook and cook big meals it's just me and my landlady she doesn't cook she always bought fast food all the time on our way home from work, so now I do all the cooking and everything else she has she has Parkinson's so now I do it, but I still make her do stuff to keep her going I have loved all of your recipes that I have seen I think they're awesome and especially the Mexican food and I want to try that what you have made in the past and I would love those roll recipes as well thank you and have a wonderful day God bless Sharon J.
  • Rachel I thought I was a good cook before I started watching you. Oh no, you’ve shown me all the little secrets I’ve been leaving out. Life is so good since I’ve found you, you’ve renewed my love for cooking! Thank you so much!!
  • I remember my Mom telling me the story of the first time she cooked for my Dad. It was a floured roast that won his heart completely.
  • @janelliot5643
    I SO appreciate that you show us the basics that many people assume is known by all, because it's not: many cooks are as secretive about their best practices as magicians are about their tricks
  • Hi Rachel, I am 70 years old from San Antonio, Tx. This is the 3rd time doing your pot roast recipe. My whole family loves it. Never disappointed. I love your way of explaining all your videos step by step. Thank you. I love you and hope to meet you one day. ❤
