It's a winner! We will definitely add this to our list of favorite pot roast recipes. I knew we would enjoy the flavors, all of which are subtle and tummy warming without being overpowering. The meat turned out very tender but I did simmer it longer just to be sure cuz I wasn't in a hurry (3 hours) . The sauce thickened on it's own with the lid tipped open a bit. I serve with oven roasted potatoes, carrots and cherry tomatoes. Perfect for a chilly winter night! Thanks Choco!

Followed your recipe right on down & was very satisfied with everything about it! Easy to fix, great tasting (we particularly liked the cinnamon/nutmeg/allspice combo in the tomato sauce)! We don't eat a lot of red meat around here, but I'll definitely be making this again, nonetheless! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars Tag]

Such a fabulous recipe! I have to admit that when I went to my local grocer's with 2.5 - 3 lbs. chuck roast listed, and saw the sale price of prime rib ($4.99/lb) I went for the prime rib! Since I substituted prime rib for chuck, I reduced the cook time to 45 minutes. I also reduced the tomato sauce to one 15 oz. can. These were the only two changes. I served it with a side salad and recipe #137034. Thanks, Chocolatl! Made for PRMR tag game.
