French Pot Roast

Friday, July 23, 2010




A slow cooker recipe collection wouldn't be complete without a fresh pot roast recipe, and with the use of bottled French salad dressing, this recipe is convenient, quick, and delicious. Chuck roasts are considered by some to be tough and chewy, so the meat is typically stewed, slow cooked, or braised to make it more tender, moist, and flavorful.
