A keeper! I made it just as written; it was delicious, tender and not dry, which is sometimes a problem with pot roast. I might just shred the leftovers and serve on buns. Seems like it would be a tasty sandwich, much better than the Italian-type sandwich beef. Montana-GemBob, thanks for posting this winner....~~~Janet

I am a displaced Southern boy living in Montana. I love it here though. I've been here for 30 years, so I must. I like to fish, camp and I love to garden. I like to fool around in the kitchen and see what I can dream up sometimes. It's just me and the missus now and I do most of the cooking. I leave Holidays to her though since she laid dibs on those.<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
