  1. This recipe is great for the inexperience cook. It was easy to follow and the meat turned out tender with a great tomato taste. The gravy was even better. Served it with mashed potatotes and green beans.
     
  2. I think I've found out that I prefer a creamy mushroom gravy with pot roast, but this was good and the family went up for seconds.
     
  3. I made this recipe several times using the meat called for in the recipe. Turned out dry. so, the 3 stars mean I used a boneless chuck roast, which cooked up tender and moist. I did add the carrots and it turned out great. My husband said this way is better.
     
  4. This was very good. I added extra italian seasoning because we like our food well seasoned. Also added approx. 1/4 cup water...just in case. The gravy was awesome. I mixed in some wondra to thicken it a bit more. Served over egg noodles for dinner and lunch! Had a small bit left over and served it for breakfast with a fried egg on top. I'd make this again and it's a great recipe to experiment with. I think a can of rotel tomatoes would be a nice addition too. Thanks!
     
  5. This was pretty good. The flavor was nice, and it was very easy, but the meat was a bit dry. (I'm beginning to think I just don't like bottom round roasts.) I did add a bag of baby carrots, and they were cooked perfectly and very nicely seasoned. I cooked for 1 hour on high and 7 on low. I served it with mashed potatoes, but the sauce/gravy would have been very nice on gnocchi. Thanks for posting.
