Pot roast is a great choice for Sunday dinner. The slow, low cooking method allows the flavors to develop, resulting in tender meat with a rich flavor. If you have never cooked a pot roast before, start with smaller cuts of beef, and increase the cooking time to compensate for the smaller size. If you are making a large pot roast, use bigger cuts and make sure the meat is at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the way cooked when you put it in the oven.

Before You Start

Make sure your oven is preheated to the desired temperature. The optimal temperature to make a pot roast in the oven varies, but a good range to start with would be 350° Fahrenheit. This will likely take the best part of an hour. You will want to mix the ingredients together well and then place in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Remember, a good sized baking dish is important. Otherwise the mixture will be spread out too much in the oven. You will want to leave the pot roast to cook for about 2 hours. This will allow the meat to brown and give it a nice crust.
