Coffee adds richness to the gravy, which is perfect for sopping up with crusty bread or draping over mashed potatoes. —Charla Sackmann, Orange City, Iowa

This was very tasty, and easy to throw together before heading to work for the day. I will definitely make this one again. The gravy was very flavorful as well.

This was very easy to make and tasted delicious when it was finished. I cooked it for 8 hours and although it was very moist it was not as tender as I would have liked. Next time I make it I will cook it longer. I will be making this again!

I made this for dinner yesterday, it was so easy and it was the most mouthwatering and delicious roast I have ever made. I will definitely be keeping this one in my recipe folder.
