Clearly the finest pot roast I have ever eaten, highly recommend this one. One major typo on the recipe though, bake at 225 degrees, NOT 325 degrees...unless you like serving a large hockey puck for dinner.

I have tried several including many slow cooker ones. My husband and I love this. I chopped the rosemary very fine, it didn't come out strong at all, in fact you might not notice it. I followed this recipe to the letter and it came out perfect on the first try! I used Coca Cola Classic. The gravy was outstanding, and I was skeptical because it looked pretty greasy at first. I'm done! I no longer have to look for pot roast recipes, so easy, and the best we've had! Please try it!

The only thing that I did differently was to use Coke, since my grocery store was completely out of the fancy root beer (or maybe everyone was hiding it! But it was so yummy! I used the amount of meat called for and we had tons of leftovers, so I used it with the left over smothered peas (which I thought were so-so and made a beef pot pie! So great!

Please don't review it. How much the recipe, or Emeril preparing it, made you salivate, doesn't help me know whether it actually *tastes* good. And if you've substituted a major ingredient with something else--say, used root beer instead of coca cola--how can you rate Emeril's recipe at all? I apologize for giving this recipe any star rating, since I haven't made it. But the site won't let me voice this opinion, otherwise.

I just saw Emeril prepare the pot roast and scallop patatoes, and the bacon smothered peas. I was getting hungry and salivating by the minute.
At the beginning I was watching another show on the other chanel, but I completely forgot about it, and continued enjoying the salivation, and thinking that next sunday I will cook pot roast.
Gosh, my favorite cooking starts for a lot of dishes are rosematy and garlic, and crrrrispy bacon.
Thank You Master

By far this is the best dish I have made out of all the recipes I received from food network. When you have your kids eating 2nds and 3rds, you know you have a great dish. I did use the rootbeer instead of the cola. :

I Love a good Pot Roast, (used to hate it as a kid. And to combat the typical blandness of plain pot roast, I love to try new recipes.

I watched Emeril prepare this recipe for Martina McBride last week on Emeril Live.
I was skeptic about using chopped Rosemary with garlic, since Rosemary is such a "strong herb". In quantities, it's reminiscent of pine needles!

But, I've tried many of Emeril's recipes, and they are among the best. So, I went for it!

Being cautious, I used about a third less Rosemary than what he used on the show. I also used Rootbeer, instead of Cola, since Emeril had used it on the show.

Well, let me tell you! The smell of this Pot Roast cooking....let me put it nicely...I was hoping that it tasted better than it smelled!

The results were a disaster. I was trying to get my kids to like Pot Roast. This recipe I'm afraid, has turned my kids off for years to come. My wife and I hated it as well. No one could even finish their portion!

With eight little pockets of the rosemary and garlic, you could not get a bite without the overwhelming taste of the herb! We had to throw it out.

Now, if you like eating Pine needles, you may like this recipe, otherwise, be afraid... be very afraid.

Poor Martina McBride ...she had to be nice, and eat this on TV!

Thanx, Emeril! This recipe sent my father in law back to his childhood and me to the top of his great daughter in law list. It is simply delicious.
