This pot roast was a disappointment. The meat was tough and the gravy was too salty.

I've made this pot roast recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. The meat is always fall-apart tender, and the gravy is so flavorful. I love that I can just throw everything in the pot and let it cook all day.
