“This was an excellent Sunday night dinner. I rarely make a beef roast so this was a treat! The meat was well seasoned and tender and paired well with the carrots. We served it with rice and a salad. I like that there were not potatoes as many pot roast recipes” — a cook, 5★
“I'm pretty sure that your protein count per serving is incorrect. 1/4 pound of chuck roast contains 19g protein by every source I've searched, not 6g. Otherwise, the recipe is great!” — a cook, 5★
