This is by far one of the most tasty and satisfying roasts I have ever cooked. You just have to make sure and serve it as soon as you cut into it, it gets cold very fast!

This recipe looked and sounded so good on TV I had to make it. I followed the recipe. When it had cooked on low for 8 hours it was done but the sauce was thin and too tomatoey and sweet. In order to save the pot I added a package of dried onion soup mix, a can of Campbell's beef broth and reduced the sauce. I ate a little and put the pot in the fridge. I will see if it is edible tonight. Would never make it again. I know how to make a great Pot Roast and should stick with it

This is a fantastic recipe. I have served it to many guests and also for a large group I cooked for last summer. All have raved about it. I even have substituted venison for the beef and it turned out excellent. I use baby carrots and quarter onions instead of frozen veggies.

This is so easy to make, and it is hands down the most delicious pot roast I've made in a long time. The family raved about it and wants to have it at least once a week. The madeira makes it.

I disagree with all the "anonymous" posters who said this wasn't good. My husband and I loved this recipe! I substituted with things I had on hand. Instead of madiera, I used a dry red Chianti and used a sirloin tip instead of a rump roast. Also used fresh carrots and fresh onions because that's what I had. We ate a third of the roast with garlic mashed potatoes and harcot beans, another third was sliced for sandwiches, and the last third for a beef stew using the sauce as a base, adding some beef stock, potatoes, and more carrots and cooked until tender. Then cubed the remaining meat and added to the pot. My husband asks for this at least twice a month now. Best thing is that the 2 of us can get 3 meals from 1 roast.

I wasn't sure about this one, and I couldn't even fine madeira wine anywhere locally. I even tried the specialty wine store, and he looked at me funny. So I used a pinot noir instead, and it could not have been better! My finicky eaters asked for second and third helpings. I have plans to make this again this week.

I was a litte learly making this recipe when I read all the bad reveiws for it. Everyone saying that the sauce was too sweet. Well I knew madeira was a sweet wine so I replaced it with just a dry white wine and the recipe came out great like that. Doing it that way I would definatly make it again!

This was a great recipe, my boyfriend and I loved it. I used Trader Joe's Starter Sauce for the tomato sauce. I will make it again, next we'll try it with a venison roast

I am not sure what others did wrong but maybe they thought tomato sauce meant spaghetti sauce???? Tomato sauce is in a can! This was extremely easy to prepare. I hate onions but I must say that you don't even notice them but I know it does add flavor. The presentation of this meal is wonderful and smells so darn good. The only thing I might have done is added cut up potatoes to this. I served it over white rice and it was an amazing meal. I also made corn bread to go with it. There is no way this is only a three star dish it is a FIVE star meal!!!!!!
