What a delicious meal and perfect with your Recipe #414235. I used a 4 lb. chuck roast (the largest one I could find) and added 1 tablespoon of sugar and some baby carrots to the dutch oven before baking. Very nice flavors in this spicy version of pot roast! The meat was moist and tender after the 3 hour cooking time. My DH volunteered a mid-meal 5 star rating. Thanks for posting, PQ.
