    This recipe is awesome! I remebered it from the show and made it from memory and it turned out great. It takes a long time from start to finish, but that is mostly oven time.

    This is without a doubt the VERY BEST roast ever. I have made this several times and it is absolutely fool proof. Be sure to make the gravy it is so creamy and yummy!

    I have made this pot roast every other week for the last couple of months. The meat is tender, the sauce is so flavorful and rich and the aroma that fills the air while it's cooking is just fabulous. Guests/family walk in the house and comment immediately!! I don't change anything in the recipe although I would NOT say 4 lbs serves 6-8. If you have hearty eaters, I would say 6 max. IT shrinks while cooking 3 hours. Funny...I recently shared the recipe with my sister who loves to cook and she said...this sounds like a winter or fall dish. I said, Yeah....and who cares?? haha! I do go to my favorite meat market for the meat as you will have more fat than you probably want if you don't. It is important to skim the fat from the drippings before putting in food processor/blender. You will not be disappointed with this recipe!! I can't say enough about it!!!!

    I made this meal for my husband and I and it was DELICIOUS! The roast was fork tender, and the gravy... delicious!
    But...after cooking my 2.5 lb roast for 2 hours in a dutch oven at 350, I took it out of the oven because virtually all the liquid had evaporated and the vegetables looked black. In order to blend the gravy, I had to add more beef broth because there just was not enough liquid in what was left in the dutch oven. I think because I added the beef broth, it was too salty. I have no idea why all the liquid evaporated, no one else seemed to have this problem. If anyone has the solution, I'd love to hear it. This is just too good for me to not make again and again!

    I let my boyfriend cook this while I was at work and it came out amazing!!!!

    We added rosemary and bay leaves to the pot roast while it cooked.
    I thought it was going to be ok.... it was fabulous!
    I will definitely make this again.

    This is so easy and tastes so good that between this and guiada's porcini mush risotto, I know keep procini mushrooms in stock in my pantry year round. Be carefull with the salt because the porcini mushrooms release a lot of salt already.

    Just getting to this review, but made this for Christmas dinner (with Giada's herb polenta as it's side and her tomato soup as a starter - all from her family dinner cookbook, it is incredible. Best, best, best ever. It will now be our traditional Christmas dinner no doubt. Pretty easy. Probably one of the best dinners I have ever made.
