NotesNote: This pot roast can be prepared in the slow cooker, too! After searing the roast in a pot, transfer the roast to a large slow cooker. Pour sauce over meat, add vegetables and herbs, and cover. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.

Cooking for a Smaller Family? Cook a small roast, and then freeze the leftover meat! It works well when it's reheated on Steak and Cheese Subs or French Dip Sandwiches!
