This roast was just delicious! So moist and tender, and oh that yummy gravy! Easy to make too and the whole house smells yummy while it's cooking. My family (+ a couple of friends) couldn't wait to tear into this and there is not a scrap left. Thanks for sharing this great recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2008Reply

This was wounderful! I had alway's made my roasts in my crockpot to keep them moist so this method of cooking a roast was new to me but it turned out great and in fact it was even more moist then when I cook them in my crockpot!! This was full of flavor too. My whole family loved this. I followed the recipe exactly as it is written and wouldn't change anything. This is a recipe I will definately make over and over again!! Thank's for sharing! Made for spring PAC '07.Reply
