"This is the only pot roast recipe I'll use from now on. I did need to add 1/2 cup of water 3 times and finish the veggies in the microwave for 10 minutes because they weren't quite tender after an hour. The gravy was a rich, dark brown. I also added a quartered onion for 15 minutes at the end. Thank you for sharing this one!"
