How do you cook a pot roast??

Favorite Answer

I do nothing but salt and pepper it cover for 1/2 of the cooking time and use a meat thermometer, cook it on 325 or maybe 300 the longer it cooks at low temps the better...Show more

Salt and pepper
Sear on high heat in 3 tablespoons oil for 5 minutes each side in a large pot
Take 1/4 pot leftover coffee -add water until the coffeepot is half to 3/4 full with diluted coffee. Add 1 package onion soup mix to roast and pour the diluted coffee in.
Bring to a boil and lower and let simmer 1 1/2-2 hours covered
The coffee really brings out the flavor of the roast.
You can take the roast out of the pot and thicken the liquid to make a gravy with corn starch or flour mixed well with water. The gravy is absolutely wonderful. Have plenty of bread on hand to dip in the gravy....Show more

I cook roasts at a low temperature, 325 or so. I sprinkle it with salt, pepper and I use a dry onion soup mix along with with the salt and pepper.

I add about a 1/2 cup of water or so, roast it in the oven until about a hour left. Then I add quartered potatoes and carrots.

Finish roasting until the temp is correct. Let the meat stand for about 5 minutes or so before cutting. It helps to keep the meat moist.

I use the drippings to make a gravy to use with the potatoes and meat....Show more

My favorite way is to cook it in my slow cooker/crock pot. I put it in to crock, season it, add several quartered pototaes, carrots and onions around it, then pour a can of golden cream of mushroom soup mixed with 1/2 cup water over the top and cook it on low all day. It tastes delicious and the gravy made by the soup and meat juices is wonderful!...Show more

I see a lot of good answers here, but one thing to keep in mind; after cooking it, let it set for 10-15 min. before cutting it. That will hold the juices in & not dry out as fast, giving it alot of flavor. I think Cubby & tri-mama (sp?) have some tasty sounding recipes....Show more
