Buttermilk Pot Roast

I saw this in the Taste Of Home magazine and I thought that it sounded good!! I am sure the meat would be really tender making pot roast this way!! It is a recipe by Anne Powers of Munford, Alabama and she says that it melts in your mouth and she's been making it for company for years! Let me know how you like it!!!
