Well MizzNezz you have a wonderful recipe here! I had a 4 1/2 lb roast so used it and replaced four cups of the water with some beef broth. This makes a lot of broth in the end so be prepared to freeze it for other meals or gravies. The roast was left whole and I cooked it for 5 hours instead of 3 and it was perfect and so tender by dinnertime! I added the carrots and potatoes as you directed near the end and they were crisp tender when served. Absolutely wonderful and I'm so surprised it has taken so long for someone to try and review this wonderful dish! We will be enjoying leftovers tomorrow night! Made for Bargain Basement tag game and the One Dish Wonders Photo event.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
