I fixed this roast the first time I cooked for my husband-to-be more than 20 years ago. For dessert, I made chocolate pudding spooned over marshmallow. He thought he'd died and gone to heaven!"

Just amazing although to get the right amount of time in for cooking I usually cook it for a few hours the day before, refrigerate it and then finish up the following day. I like to add some microwaved potatoes and carrots. Soooo good over egg noodles!

This was pretty good. At first when I tasted the pot roast, I didnt think much of it. But with the sauce it was really good! I'll prob. make this occasionally but still prefer my tradition New England pot roast :)
