It was very good.

I am not a roast person at all but this sounded like it would be very good so decided to try it. It was wonderful and so tender. I wondered if there would be too much sauce, and there was quite a bit but it was super good over the roast and mashed potatoes. I would make this again!

Used a buffalo roast. So tender could cut with a fork. Great flavor.

This is just delicious! Even my 3 year old who usually refuses meat (hot dogs don't count, ha ha) liked this one.

I left out the red pepper flakes because I didn't have those. When I was putting this together, I wondered if 2 teaspoons of black pepper was going to be way too much. But it makes the gravy awesome! I served this with mashed potatoes which were just amazing with the delicious gravy.

Try this - you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic!!! I made this for Christmas Eve dinner. It was such a hit. Everyone asked for the recipe before they left. Absolutely delicious! I added potatoes, baby carrots and mushrooms also. I don't have a slow cooker so I baked it in a covered roasting pan at 325 degree for 4 and half hours. ( I added the mushrooms towards the end) Best recipe ever!!

I just served it to my daughter and son-in-law and it was a hit. I served the sauce over long grain rice, along with acorn squash,cream corn and hot rolls. I made the peach crisp delight using home grown pears instead of peaches. What a meal it all was!! I only had a little leftovers from the entire meal. Will try it again and again.

This roast was excellent! There was such a wonderful aroma while it was cooking! It was so flavorful! I served it with mashed potatoes, broccoli and jumbo biscuits, and I think it would be as great over egg noodles because it makes alot of yummy sauce/gravy. I did season my roast and brown it first. I had a three and a half pound roast so I cut it in half. You could easily use a bigger roast because there is alot of gravy as I said before. I added mushrooms because I needed to use them up, and I used red wine (Burgundy) instead of beef broth, red bell pepper instead of green , and shallots instead of onion. I cut up my stewed tomatoes so they would blend in more. I followed the sauce measurements exactly and added a bay leaf. This was so tender and a great roast. Thank you for the recipe! We will enjoy this again-it is one of the better pot roast recipes and far from bland-how we like it!
