“Definitely comfort food for a fall night. We really enjoyed this served with plain rice. I checked the gravy before serving and it was too salty for me, so I added some extra water and thickened it with cornstarch. That worked quite well and the gravy was real” — a cook, 4★
“This was the best roast I have ever cooked in my crock pot! It was perfectly seasoned, and so easy! Paired with mashed potatoes and with Copycat Red Lobster's Cheddar Biscuits #54657, it was real comfort food. Thank you shelbyrose for my new favorite pot ro” — a cook, 5★
