"I love cooking a pot roast on the weekend because it can simmer for hours while I'm doing other things," says Leona Therou of Overland Park, Kansas. Her hearty beef roast with potatoes and carrots makes enough for a family of four with plenty left over.

This has been my favorite potroast ever since it was printed in the magazine years ago. Simple ingredients but so much good comforting flavor. I also love to make the pasties with the leftovers, the recipe was in the magazine with the potroast recipe.
Simple, straightforward, tasty! I was a bit worried about the meat being on the stovetop and in that much water, but it was delicious. I did cut back on the water some, because I was out of potatoes and my pot roast had a huge bone that made up some of its weight.

Basic, but tasty. Onions replaced due to allergy by minced garlic to taste.
I usually do roast beef in the crockpot or oven, and this was the first time for cooking it on the stove-top. It was very good. I added some fresh rosemary to the gravy at the end to give it more flavor. I use cornstarch to thicken my gravies, and I found the flour made it look light. Is this where the browning sauce comes in? I couldn't find it at the store. Overall, a good and easy recipe which just takes time.
This is an easy, delicious, recipe that I have used over and over again. Thanks for keeping this recipe online because I no longer have my first issues of Quick Cooking.
I add a can of mushrooms to the meat while it is cooking. This has become a favorite.
