If you enjoy garlic, beef and a touch of rosemary, you'll enjoy this. My husband resisted eating the whole thing only so he'll have some tomorrow on a sandwich. With luck, we'll have enough for dinner tomorrow. With no changes at all, you'll have a great meal everytime. This is the best pot roast I've had. I did make the gravy. It's all pretty simple to make and absolutely delicious - Super!

This dish was on the dinner table within 2 1/2 hrs. I cooked it in my cast iron dutch oven on the stovetop and just let it simmer. While it was doing it's thing, I made mashed potatoes and a salad- easy. My family loved it! They thought I slaved over it all day. Recently I've tried some other recipes for pot roast on them from this site (not going to name any names... and I was not greeted with any compliments. The gravy is something I usually skip, but thought I'd give it a try- so glad I did! It was by far the best gravy or sauce rather. Definately going to save it for sandwiches later. It's too good to waste. Oh, I used a can of Pepsi just because it was what I had, but honestly I don't think it matters one bit- you can't taste any cola. It just deepens the flavor and the whole thing is just absolute heaven! The rosemary does not taste strong, but if there's an ingredient your not sure about, just use a little less or even sub. I'm rarely dissapointed with anything from this genius! Thank You Emeril!!!

I wanted a pot roast that wasn't just another boring meat & potato dish.
This one was amazing. I don't have a lot of cooking experience, so I was a little wary, but this was really easy. I've always been afraid to experiment with anything new but I'm so glad I tried this.
My family was amazed. and my son who is very picky about his food even had a secon helping. The flavor was great, I can't wait to get home tonight and use the few leftovers I have for tonight's meal. I'm going to take the leftover potatoes and meat and fry them in a pan together.

I made this and brought it to a friend's house for a potluck holiday meal - it was a big hit, with many saying it was the best pot roast they ever had. I made it w/ Coca-Cola, and followed the recipe, and added carrots to the pot. Super tender and tasty - perfect w/ mashed potatoes. Guys expecially love it - meat and potatoes at their finest.!

I've been making this for over a year now because it is truly the best pot roast ever. I never checked the reviews till now and was surprised to see any negative comments. If the recipe is followed it should work. My neighbor told me about it and she makes it with root beer and raves about it too. I put potatoes, carrots and turnips in the pot half way through and have a great dinner in one pot (my slow cooker, tho I do brown the beef before adding it to the cooker. My kids all adults now beg for it for our Sunday dinners together.

I've made this multiple times since the show aired and have never been disappointed. Everyone loves it. Also, I used cola and cook it at 325. It is the only way that I make pot roast any longer.

Did I just call a pot roast tender???? I didn't think there was such a thing. I made this last night - oh my gosh, it was amazing. If you cook it just as the recipe instructs - it turns out perfectly. I'm not typically a pot roast fan (too many dry roasts in my days. You cannot mess this one up. It is so tender and the flavors are amazing. I did not think it had too much of a cola taste at all. And 325 is the correct temp. I used the left overs for sandwiches the next day. Just as awesome as a left over!! Great job on this one Emeril!!

I made this last night and my family LOVED it, even my picky teenage son!!! I made it just like the recipe says. 325 temp, and coca cola. I will make this again, as my daughter never got any when she came over the next day for left overs. And boy was she bummed. GREAT EASY RECIPE! AAAA++++

What is the correct cooking temp supossed to be? 325 or 225? Someone said 325 was a typo and it should be 225. For those who have made this, please comment on what temp you used. Thank you. (Sorry for all the stars, but I had to rate or site would not let me post.
