Beer Pot Roast ...p43

Pot roast reminds me so much of my mother, so I decided to sneak this one up on her and see what her reaction was.  Of course the variable of me cooking it might prompt a snicker!  You know we all like to say, "oh, it tastes so much better when someone else makes it!", but when they do, we say, "sure doesn't taste like mine!"  Case in point, Beer Pot Roast. 

And I do admit, the beef disappointed me - seemed way too fatty, so check your chuck roast for too much fat....  BUT, everyone devoured the brown sugar carrots so make lots!  I used this recipe from food network.


When I served mom and told her it was her recipe, she responded with, "oh, that was Elsie's and I never did really like it!"  Oh well.  Bottom line is it is a simple recipe that you can doctor up if you like - just be sure to make a lot of brown sugar carrots.


Hardy Appetit!
