Old-Fashioned Pot Roast (Chuck Roast) with Gravy, Carrots and Onions


I started with about a 2.28 lb. chuck roast, Dale's Marinade Sauce, some flour, carrots, onion sliced, and about 1/4 cup of oil. Wash roast and marinade it about 30 min. in Dale's Marinade Sauce. Then add salt, pepper. After Marinating......
Heat Oil in skillet over med-high heat and brown roast on all sides...Remove from skillet and place in 9 by 13 inch baking dish...I used a glass one.......and then make the gravy.......


Add about 3 heaping tablespoons of flour and sprinkle salt and pepper to the oil in the skillet, keep stirring, have your glass of water handy now, and when your flour turns brown.....


add your glass of water and stir quickly....turn up the heat and let it thicken.....get another 1/2 glass of water and pour as needed to keep it from being too thick......



Turn heat to low now, and get your carrots and onions put around the roast






Pour gravy from skillet onto roast and carrots, cover with foil and cook at 350 degrees for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours checking it for tenderness.


When it's done ......
It will look something like this.......

Serve with your favorite mashed potatoes recipe and an extra veggie and rolls and you have yourself a delicious meal. Hint: If you wish to, you can cut up your potatoes with your carrots and cook them in the oven with the roast, so that you can save time and have an all in one entree. I must admit that I love mashed potatoes and always serve my roast with them. I will be adding recipes as I cook.....so come again soon.

Enjoy!
