Old Fashioned Pot Roast. I got this recipe from my mom, a great cook. In a Dutch oven, brown the roast on all sides in half of the butter. Add the water, bouillon, onion, celery, salt and pepper; bring to a boil.
A good old fashioned pot roast calls for a chuck roast in my eyes.
Chuck is an economical cut of beef that is pretty tough and fatty, but very flavorful, and requires a low and slow braise for several hours in just a bit of liquid, making it a great roast to plan for Saturday or Sunday dinner for most of us.

Old Fashioned Pot Roast step by step
- *** sprinkle roast liberally with pepper, and garlic powder. and lightly with season salt. I rub the seasoning into the meat by hand... the brown gravy and onion soup mix are high in sodium..
- dredge roast through flour. fry in oil until both sides are brown. doesn't have to cook just brown. this step is important to help to form gravy or thick juice..
- coursely cut up potatoes. cut celery into 2" pieces..
- put all the veggies in a bowl with 1/2 the onion. lightly salt add pepper. hand mix..
- put a slow cooker liner in your crockpot..
- ROAST CAN BE PUT IN A BAKING BAG OR THE PRESSURE COOKER. If pressure cooker is used. cook on Med for 45 Minutes. if you use a baking bag cook for about 1 1/2 hrs at 350°. if you use a crockpot cook 8-10 hrs on low or 6 hrs on high..
- the instructions are given for a crockpot. put veggies in the crockpot and put roast on top.. it will keep veggies moist. put celery and onions on top of roast..
- put onion mix and gravy mix in bowl with water or broth...mix well until dissolved pour over roast and cook for designated time as posted in #6....
- **** after roast is eaten I save the leftovers juice to boil egg noodles in. the broth can be strained and frozen for future use. I'll put that recipe on my profile..
- SOMEONE ADDED IN THE REVIEW IT TAKES 8 HRS TO BAKE... EVIDENTLY THIS PERSON HAS NOT COOKED THIS. ... this roast can be cooked in a roaster that has a lid ... or in an aluminum roaster covered tightly with aluminium foil... for 1 1/2 - 2 hrs.....
- **** several people mentioned the gravy was thinner than they like.... when u get ready to cook the roast add 3 Tbsp of flour to a 1/2 coffee cup full of COLD water ... put this in the bottom... the oils and broth from the meat will season this... in mine I mix the onion soup mix... gravy mix... and flour from frying the roast......
