Ingredients:
Amazing how inexpensive this was. I purchased items for this meal and for Michael's Turkey Tacos all in one shop. The total bill came to $21.65, of which $14 or so went towards this meal. Now that's a 3 pound top round and the veges. At home I already had white wine vinegar, (substituted it for the red wine vinegar the recipe called for), the garlic and the seasonings. If I'd made those additional purchases I would still only have spent another $12 roughly, so still not bad at all! Plus we will have plenty of meat to add to other dishes, my kind of meal.
Meal Review
I seasoned the roast with pepper, salt, garlic salt and seasoning salt. Sounds like a lot, but that was a big hunk a meat! Plus those are always my go-to seasonings. I braised the top round on all sides for a good while, I like it a little crispy for the finished product. The roast started off very nicely.
I then added in the other ingredients and I tell you, within minutes the kitchen smelled like I had been working in there for hours. The aroma, incredible!

This is starting to be a reoccurring theme, my biggest challenge was keeping my 7 month old occupied. Just as the onions were reaching my eyes, Baby Caleb was reaching his limit, hubby soon after walked through the door, thank God! The next challenge was only chopping the carrots, I forgot how much I don't enjoy that, the next time I will opt for a big pack of baby carrots. After that, all was well, the roast was added to the oven for a nice slow bake.
I had pre-chopped, individually packaged garlic cloves. I swear by them! It made this process quick and easy and I don't have to worry about that weird garlic smell on my hands!
Suggestions
Go do something else! There's really not much to do once the roast in the oven other than salivate over how good the kitchen smells. I set a timer a couple times just to lather the juice across the roast...okay so it was also to get in a taste, but this will make it nice and tender.
Complete Dish
The pot roast was complete last night and waking up this morning the entire house smelled like Christmas, or Thanksgiving, one of those holidays when hours upon hours of hard work had been done in the kitchen. In this case I got the reward without the work. This was truly a Heavenly dish. There was nothing but silence as it was consumed. I added a side of cabbage, opted against mashed potatoes as "Operation Get Rid of Baby Fat" has commence. This dish was nothing less than scrumptious!
I have to share that I get warm fuzzies now that I can make this dish. Pot roast was a special dish my mother use to always make. I never got her recipe or learned how to make it, now that she has passed it makes me feel good to be able to make this meal for my family. Good one Carla!
