I like to serve my fork-tender pot roast with sauteed tarragon carrots and rosemary-roasted red potatoes. This homey meal suits all tastes-and the aroma alone is satisfying. —Vera Carroll, Medford, Massachusetts

I actually made this with a chunk of venison and it was wonderful! I'm not a fan of wild game and my husband loves to hunt, so I'm always looking for good recipes to use that will take away the wild game flavor. This made the venison delicious! I added baby carrots and chunks of potatoes (didn't put in mushrooms because I didn't have any). I used the beef broth instead of the wine. I also tripled all the seasonings and liquids (since after adding the carrots and potatoes there wasn't enough juice to cover the meat). Wonderful!

The Red wine really makes this dish superior.

Nice basic pot roast recipe that I was able to modify to suit my needs. I added some baby carrots and baby yukon gold potatoes to the crock pot so that I could cook my veggies along with the roast.

Very moist and tender. The second time I made it I added some carrots and they were delicious too.

I made this as the recipe suggested. It was not tender after seven hours in the slow cooker, so I finished it in the oven. It was okay. Nothing special.

This recipe was so-so. The gravy was disappointing, and I have pot roast recipes that make better gravy.
