Easy Homestyle Pot Roast
My mom made roast for dinner almost every single Sunday. She didn't usually toss the potatoes and carrots in with the roast, instead she's do roast with mashed potatoes and gravy (which I also absolutely love) but I've always loved how this is a one pot meal.
I'm all about easy dinners and this one definitely makes the cut. Plus it's a meal my whole family loves!
A classic pot roast recipe is something we should all know how to make (unless you're vegetarian of course), it's just one of those timeless dinners everyone can agree on.
And when you serve up a dinner this delicious you'll feel like a pro in the kitchen, and no one needs to know what a breeze it was to make.

How To Cook the Best Pot Roast
First and foremost picking the right cut of meat is important. A chuck roast roast is a great option here because it has some good marbling which will slowly break down as it cooks which will tenderize the beef, while also adding flavor.
Next be sure to brown the roast before cooking in the oven. This will add a lot of the rich flavor here.
Then cook the roast low and slow. If you cook it too high and too quick it will be tough. My mom would even cook a roast at 225 if she had enough time.
Another key here is to wait to add the veggies, otherwise they'll be too soft by the time the roast is finished.
Also, another great cooking option for this pot roast recipe is to throw it in the slow cooker (after you've browned it) and let it cook for about 7 – 8 hours. When I'm going this route though I like to add the potatoes whole and cook the carrots separately.
Do I Have to Use Red Wine?
The red wine in this recipe is totally optional and definitely not a must. The roast still has plenty of flavor without it from the browning, the garlic and onions and the fresh herbs.
How to Choose a Good Roast
When selecting a roast I recommend sticking with chuck roast for this recipe, and look for a roast that has some marbling (of fat) because that will also offer a more tender end result.
