How do you cook a pot roast??

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

My two favorite recipes and they are sooo easy.

Both get put in crockpot and cook for 5-6 hours. Both equally tasty! I sometimes throw in some peeled potatoes and carrots. Yum!

1. 1 roast (any of your choice)

Mix together in bowl 2 cans cream of mushroom soup and 2 cans of cream of celery soup. Add in two packets of Lipton Onion soup mix. Mix the soups together and pour over the roast.

2. 1 roast (your choice)

Mix together in cup 2 packets of dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix, 2 Packets of dry Itailan Salad Dressing Mix and 2 packets of dry Brown Gravy mix. Mix them with 1 cup of water and pour over the roast.

I season mine with salt,pepper nad garlic. I then add carrots , onions, and celery. I add a can of beef stock and cook covered until the last half hour. Uncover and brown .Make a gravy from the drippings. Serve with mashed or smashed potatoes.

Season it very well add onion and put in the crock pot with a cup of water...serve with Mashed potatoes and your favorite veggie.

I usually use beef broth, onion (at least one), garlic, celery, basil, parsley and salt and pepper. Cook for as many hours as you can.
