“It's all in the name! I served this for Easter dinner with friends. I had a crowd to feed and a very large cast iron dutch oven so I got a 4lb roast. I dry brined the meat for a day uncovered. I am gluten free, so I subbed Bobs White Rice Flour. Worked ” — a cook, 5★
“I have a recipe program with a number of pot roast recipes both oven baked and slow cooker. This ones tops them all. I do not like a strong wine taste and putting a whole bottle of red wine in really made me nervous. I didn't pour in the entire bottle.” — a cook, 5★
