Not as good as I thought, though 1 family memeber liked it. Easy to make.

It's a great recipe, accentuated by the sweetness. Adding a Granny Smith Apple in with the potatoes and carrots gives it an extra 'umph'. All in all, expect the vegetable to hold more of the apple flavor than the meat, even with the garlic insertions. Basting helps, and should be added to the official instructions. A delicious dish regardless!

I've made this recipe numerous times, both in my oven and in my slow cooker. I always make it when my local grocery has roasts on special that come with free bags of veggies. It is a little sweet (I've made it with both apple juice and the frozen concentrate) but I don't find the sweetness overpowering at all. I dump it all in the slow cooker and after an hour or two of cooking, I add in carrots, quartered onions, and diced potatoes. Then I just cook it until the meat falls apart. It's so delicious. As per another review, I also used my leftovers the first time to make stew and dumplings. I found the recipe for that on here was too many steps for what I had, so I just reheated the leftover frozen pot roast with all the juice and veg and then made dumplings to drop in. It came out super delicious. Great repurposed meal as well. Thank you!

Very good! Simple to make. My kid loved it. I put this in the crockpot on Low for 8 hrs, turned out tender.

Loved making this, very simple, but made a few small changes. A friend of mine told me about this recipe & had mentioned that her vegetables turned to mush, that cooking them for 2 more hours was too much. So I cut that down to 1:15 on the last leg, also used gourmet baby carrots, (unsliced), red potatoes not peeled but cubed & added chopped green onions on the roast @ the start. Perfect!

Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend is a great cook and experiments with nearly every type of food, and he said this is by FAR the BEST pot roast he's ever had. I agree!

The roast itself was delicious. The onion mix on top blended well with the sweet apple juice. I had an English cut chuck roast that was a hair under 3lbs, so the cooking time was cut down about 20 minutes. The only reason this wasn't a 4 star was because the vegetables were bland and undercooked.
