Italian Pot Roast

Made this and loved it, and the liquid base (I added Beef Stock) was excellent for dipping bread into. I had to use Italian seasoning since I did not have just Rosemary. It was good but I wonder if the other Italian herbs might be too strong. Next time I will use only Rosemary and I am going to try a Beef Brisket instead.

Delicious meal! I added carrots and ate over white rice. Will make again.

I thought this was terrible. It was not a good combination of flavors. I will not be making this again.

I tried this meal last night and it was delicious! I made it in the crockpot and it was so easy! I recommend this meal to everyone!

Crockpot is the best way to do, you can also add carrots or frozen peas, makes for a hearty meal

Sissinghurst--Some folks don't have a crockpot to slow cook their foods in. I do agree with you it is a less expensive way to cook, but when you don't have the means this is a good alternative :D I mean, heck, if that's the case it would be cheaper to build a pit in the backyard and cook it that way...oui?

Forget about cooking in the oven or on the stove; forget the stove--it consumes too much electricity. Use the crock-pot method as directed. It's cheaper, more environmentally friendly, and the meat always turns out so tender. Less hassle.

Minicaretti--If you do it on the stove, I would cover the top of the pot with foil and then put the lid on. Don't peek too often as this will allow for vital heat to be lost therefore taking much longer to cook. Every time you open the lid to a pot on the stove or crockpot you lose 20 minutes of cooking time! I would cook for 3 hours and then check. Also, if you do it this way, use a diffuser. Cook on medium low to medium for roughly the same amount of time as a slow cooker. Can you do it in the oven?. My only concern with doing it on the stove is that the bottom may scorch from the direct heat. If you can, do it in the oven, this will eliminate the problem. I hope this helps :D Cher

can someone tell me how long should I cook this on a stovetop? thanks!

We make a dish like this without the potatoes and serve it over pasta such as linguini or fetuccini, but it's especially good served with polenta which makes for a hearty and inexpensive meal. I always add some Italian seasoning as well as the rosemary.

My version of this is to also add one packet of any brand brown gravy powder mix. I just use a can of chopped tomatoes, no puree. I have also taken fresh tomatoes and pureed a couple in my vitamix, and then add one that is chopped. Very yummy.

This is a great dish. Instead of serving small white potatoes, try it with mashed potatoes seasoned with fresh grated Parmesean.
