About
This Pot Roast is slow roasted in the oven in a pot full of veggies, tomatoes, wine, and beef broth. Then the meat is removed and the veggies and sauce are blended together to make the Pot Roast "gravy". Then served in a bowl with roasted potatoes and carrots.
It's different than any Pot Roast I have ever had, but oh so tasty!
