This is my new go-to pot roast recipe! The meat is always fall-apart tender and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. I love that I can just throw everything in the pot and let it cook.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and onions that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the pot roast and they turned out great! The meat was also very tender and flavorful.
