Braised Pot Roast With Vegetables

Braised Pot Roast With Vegetables – Succulent slow cooked chuck roast is ultimate Sunday supper comfort food.  The gravy, flavorful vegetables and the melt in your mouth beef is worth the small amount of effort it takes to make it.  When you make a dish like this one it shows the love don’t you think?

1 can remember coming home to the smell of braised pot roast nearly every Sunday after church when I was a little girl.  The aroma was so mouthwatering coupled with the anticipation of the meal it made it very difficult to wait.  It makes you glad to be home.  To go with it, she might have mashed potatoes, cole slaw, mac and cheese, green beans,  or deviled eggs as sides and always homemade yeast rolls ready to go with it.  To me every bite seemed like angel food.  I still have the same experience every time I serve this for my own family and, so do they.  Sheer comfort food, it doesn’t get any better than that!
