Easy. We had to smell the wonderful aroma all afternoon while it cooked. I did end up having to use more water, mine cooked dry about 45 minutes into the cooking time but it still turned out delicious. My 4# roast tested at 150 degrees at 1 hour and a half so I added my vegetables then. It was done in about 45 more minutes. The gravy worked out great, I probably could have used less than 1/2 cup flour though. Overall a very tasty and easy recipe.

This is a great recipe! I am a REALLY picky eater and normally have problems eating food (especially cooked carrots), but I had no problem eating this! I am definitely going to make this again! It was delicious! Thanks for the amazing recipe!

I think this is a great starter recipe that is good for customization. I added a couple of cloves of garlic in the browning phase and used dried basil instead of the thyme, giving it a little of an Italian theme. Also I used some beef stock and red wine in place of water. It was a big hit.

Excellent and I cooked in the oven instead. The meat was like butter and the veggies were perfectly cooked. I put in the veggies after cooking the roast for one hour.

This is pretty good! I add more vegetables (string beans, asparagus, and russel sprouts) but this is great. My fiance LOVES this dish!

I used this recipe as a base and my pot roast came out wonderfully seasoned but a bit tough. I think if I'd left it to cook longer it would have been a bit better. My changes were as follows: instead of water I used 1/2 beef broth 1/2 mushroom stock; I added garlic and lightly garlic/celery salted the roast before searing. I also didn't cook the veges in with the roast since my hubby wanted mashed taters and honey glazed carrots. Overall very happy with the decision to use this recipe over another!
