This is yummy. It is, however, too sweet to me so I use just 1/4 cup sugar. Otherwise, I make this all the time.

I hate to be negative, but this was the worst recipe I've tried from the food network. It was too sweet even though I cut the brown sugar down by half and the combination of spices were too odd for me. It was a sin to throw all those yummy root veggies and the roast away, but I really hated this recipe and didn't think it could be salvaged.

This might be THE BEST roast recipe I've ever had! I did some substitutions though. I had about a 2 lbs venison roast instead of the beef. My grocery store didn't have turnips or rutabegas - so my veggies were: onion, 5 huge garlic cloves (instead of the powder, 4 carrots, 4 parsnips, and 2 big sweet potatoes. I also didn't have cumin, because I didn't think through my spice cupboard, so I substituted curry powder. Cooked on low for 12 hours and it was fantastic! Goes beautifully with homemade bread from the bread machine! This will become a go-to for me!

Second time I made this recipe and liked it better -- did not add the vegetables to the slow cooker and halved the marinade/sauce ingredients, also cut the cooking time to accommodate the omission of the vegetables. Overnight in the refrigerator the grease will solidify and the next day you can very easily break it into pieces and toss (but you probably already knew that. The second day I made some white rice. . . drizzled some EVOO into the finished rice and mixed in some fresh grated parmesan cheese (why not?. Reheated the pot roast which just broke apart tender in the pan and layered over the rice. Unbelievably amazing dish -- the consistency was more of a stew version at this point because the meat was so tender. . . that being said. . . this version will be my "go to" comfort food recipe.

Not sure why mine turned out so sub-par, followed the recipe, added a little sweet potato, used only 1/3 cup sugar. It was an oily mess! And the veggies were all mush : (. Husband came home to my "home cooked meal" unimpressed. Perhaps my roast was too fatty, but it didn't appear over marbled and the butcher trimmed off some extra fat.

The juciest pot roast recipie I've tried in a long time. Will definitely make it again. Excited about using the left over shredded meat and juice for sandwiches. A little bbq sauce on these will be terrific!
