Pot Roast

This tender pot roast is a hearty, "feel good" meal. It's also kid-friendly. Even picky eaters usually gobble it up. The last time I made this for my family, the gravy was so tasty that we poured it over the entire meal—meat, carrots and potatoes! Dovetailing Tip: Cook a large enough roast to have leftovers to use in Shredded Beef Tacos on day 5.
