I remember it vividly!
It’s “chuck roast,” Mom corrected me, on the day I blurted out “pot roast.” Must've been because she didn't want the cattle on our farm to be offended... 😉
This is surely, a classic old fashioned dish. In fact, when Bill and I married and lived in Louisville, it seemed like I served this for Sunday dinner after church about every Sunday I could. Place it all in the Dutch oven and let the oven do all the work, roasting nice and slow while we were at church.
Nothing like walking in the door to this aroma, well cooked seasoned roast, potatoes, carrots and onions, couldn’t get it on the dinner table fast enough!

I loved it, it was easy to make, but it was overkill, the boys eventually got tired of eating it so often, and ball games, etc. got in the way! It was a long while before I made it again, and then another length of time to yesterday, Sunday, when I cooked it...
It was a cold (14°) day with 5-inches of new snow on the ground, perfect weather for beef roast and vegetables for our dinner.
This is still one of my absolute favorite meals. It’s a well marbled chuck roast that winds up being fall-apart-tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It’s not a meat to rush, it has to be roasted for a long period of time.

| Voila! |
This slow cooked roast is an easy and delicious way to put dinner on the table on a Sunday for your family or when you have company.
Just remember to pass the horseradish, it's a necessity. Bill says this is the only meat he likes with horseradish!
It will not be years before I make this dinner again, it’s till one of my favorites, and here’s what Mom used to do with the leftover meat ~ these days, Bill carries on with it; he makes a delectable beef salad sandwich!
It’s all just SO GOOD AND DELICIOUS!

ReplyDeleteI love horseradish!!
Hi Duta! Thanks! I love horseradish too! Meat and veggies, woo hoo!
ReplyDeletePam, Chuck or pot roast is one of our favorite and 'go to' meals, especially in cold or cool weather! We serve this entree 4 - 6 times every year, partially because its easy, but also because its always enjoyable. We do serve beef gravy with ours though and we add 3 - 5 celery stalks to the roasting pan. I love the roasted carrots, the potatoes (with butter and gravy) and the meat...in that order! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteThat's good, Dave! I usually make gravy too, great with it. No celery though. Bill loves the roasted carrots too, I like the meat best! Have a good week!
DeleteOh yum, that is a perfect meal for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks, natalia, glad you like it!
DeleteIt is a great meal and such comforting food!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne! Yes it is!
DeleteI think that's close to my mother's recipe too. Maybe back in the day everyone made that pot roast! Yes, your weather is just like ours, probably the same storm system.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks, Mae! Spring isn't far away, hopefully!
DeleteI haven't had a pot roast in ages, but it was a standard for my mother. I'm still without an oven, but this is a perfect winter crockpot meal -- or several meals.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, BC! It was ages since we last had one. Crockpot would be great!
DeleteIt looks hearty, flavoursome and must have tasted amazingly delicious. Definitely a winner!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angie! It's good for cold days! Take care
DeleteDelicious :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kasia!
DeleteI grew up on dinners like this at home too! I haven't made one either in such a long time but I can smell it now :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! It's an oldie but goodie! Take care!
DeleteYummo - this is one of my favourite kinds of dinner. It would be especially welcome with all the cold and snow outside.
ReplyDeleteRight on, Cakelaw! Perfect for the weather and we've got a lot more nasty weather coming our way Thursday! Thanks!
DeleteYum! I am with you, this is one of my favorite meals too! This looks delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn! Have a good rest of the week!
DeleteThis is basically my go-to pot roast recipe, too. Simple, comforting and delicious! I also add some ketchup, bay leaves and 3 cloves on top of the chuck.
ReplyDeleteOh, never thought of ketchup. Sounds good and will try your way next time. Thanks, Liz. Take care
DeletePam, this is such a nice roast, I am loving it with the carrot and potatoes...such a comforting dish, I would love to dip some bread into it...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe...have a great rest of the week!
Thanks, Juliana! Glad you like it. Take care
DeleteThis is absolute comfort food for a cold day! We get a quarter cow each year and I love to make a pot/chuck roast or two like this. We love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy! Great! It makes a delicious meal. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteWell, ok now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam! Ha!
M : )
Ha! Thanks, Melinda! Have a good week!
DeleteThis is my husband's dream dish/recipe Pam! He'll be thrilled to know that you shared it. Hope you're staying warm with this wonderful comfort food, Pam!
ReplyDeleteDid you hear there is a 12 word sentence you can say to your crush... that will induce deep feelings of love and impulsive appeal for you deep inside his chest?
ReplyDeleteBecause deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's impulse to love, please and protect you with all his heart...
12 Words Will Trigger A Man's Love Instinct
This impulse is so built-in to a man's brain that it will make him try harder than before to make your relationship as strong as it can be.
As a matter of fact, fueling this mighty impulse is absolutely mandatory to achieving the best possible relationship with your man that the moment you send your man one of these "Secret Signals"...
...You'll instantly notice him open his mind and soul for you in such a way he's never expressed before and he will see you as the one and only woman in the world who has ever truly understood him.
As claimed by Stanford Medical, It's really the SINGLE reason this country's women get to live 10 years more and weigh on average 19 KG lighter than we do.
ReplyDelete(Just so you know, it has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret-exercise and really, EVERYTHING about "how" they eat.)
BTW, What I said is "HOW", and not "what"...
