This pot roast recipe doesn't include that many vegetables. So, if you like your roasts to have a lot of flavorful vegetables we recommend adding squash, zucchini, and cauliflower. To add even more flavor you can even throw in some garlic salt.

Ingredients To Gather 

• 1 (3 to 4 pound) piece beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 can crushed tomatoes

• 1 cup water

• 2 yellow onion, halved

• 2 garlic cloves, chopped

• 1 bunch baby carrots

• 2 celery stalks, sliced

• 1 cup button mushrooms, stems removed and sliced in half

• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

• 4 sprigs fresh thyme

• 2 bay leaves

Step By Step Directions To Follow: 

• Season all sides of the beef with salt and pepper.
• In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and brown the meat until it has crusted edges.
• Pour in the tomatoes, water, vegetables, and herbs into the pot roast. Season accordingly and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of oil.
• Cover the pot and reduce heat to low.
• Cook for about 3 hours

Slice the meat and serve on a large platter so that the roast and vegetables are nicely displayed. Be sure to include any pot juices so that the meat doesn’t go dry. Serve with some bread and butter and enjoy!

This is a great meal to enjoy over conversation with your family. It's that true American meal that just makes you feel a sense of togetherness.
