Tina’s Pot Roast

Total Time Prep: 10 min. Bake: 2-3/4 hours

Yield 8 servings

This tender pot roast is a hearty, "feel good" meal. It's also kid-friendly. Even picky eaters usually gobble it up. The last time I made this for my family, the gravy was so tasty that we poured it over the entire meal—meat, carrots and potatoes! —Tina Meyer, Lake Orion, Michigan
