Sunday Dinner, the Way It Should Be
There are certain meals that feel like home no matter where you are, and pot roast is at the top of that list. This is the kind of dinner that fills the entire house with the most incredible smell for hours while it braises away in the oven, and when you finally pull that lid off the Dutch oven and see that fork-tender beef surrounded by golden vegetables swimming in rich gravy, you will understand why this recipe has been a family staple for generations.
