When I think of comfort food, a tender pot roast is definitely one dish that comes to mind. There are many variations of preparing a pot roast but I wanted to use a method that wouldn’t require you to go out and buy a Dutch oven or slow cooker just to make it. You can use a regular large baking dish for this and it will turn out just as delicious! Because of the cook time, this is a great Sunday meal or family gathering meal. As always , enjoy and let me know how it turns out !

2019-12-24 at 10:18 amIs there a difference if its a round roast versus a chuck roast?
2019-12-24 at 11:11 amYes it’s a different cut of meat -chuck roast has more marbling or fat so it may be more tender
2020-06-10 at 2:02 pmThis looks so delish!! Do you have a crockpot way for this?
2020-06-10 at 2:47 pmThank you ! And I don’t but I would probably still follow it and sear the meat stovetop then put it in the crockpot
2020-08-27 at 10:52 amHow long in a crockpot? And on wut setting?
2020-08-28 at 2:33 pmThis recipe is for the oven, If you are using a crockpot I would recommend maybe 5 hours on high if I had to guess a time
2021-02-25 at 8:26 amLooks amazing! Did you use more than 1 roast or just cut the roast in to thick pieces? Also based on your timing is the roast medium well or well done? Do you think a roast should be browned all the way through?
2021-02-25 at 8:27 amHi, I used 1 roast and this will make a well done tender roast
2021-02-25 at 8:27 amAnd because it’s cooked slow and low it will be cooked all the way through but you can always adjust to yourself liking
2021-05-22 at 8:50 pmHi can I use a regular pot to cook this on the stove Instead? How long would it take on the stove top
2021-05-23 at 6:01 pmHi, yes you can and I would probably say 3 hours
