Mr. Food's Classic Pot Roast a Real Comfort Food

We love finding old family recipes that are splattered, tattered, and torn 'cause, as you can imagine, it means they've been used over and over again. Our Old-Fashioned Pot Roast is no exception! This recipe's been passed down through generations and is full of traditional, old-fashioned goodness. When you pull this easy pot roast out of the oven, the whole house will smell just like Grandma's kitchen used to when she cooked this old-fashioned recipe up for Sunday dinner. 

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons salt, divided
• 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
• 4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 cups water
• 1/2 cup prepared white horseradish
• 4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 4 carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 2 onions, cut into wedges
• 1 tablespoon browning and seasoning sauce

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mix well. Rinse roast and without drying it, add it to flour mixture; coat roast completely.
2. In a soup pot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add roast and cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning to brown on all sides.
3. Add water and horseradish and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover loosely, and simmer 1-1/2 hours. Add remaining ingredients, including remaining salt and pepper; cover loosely and simmer 40 to 45 minutes, or until meat and vegetables are fork-tender.
4. Remove roast to a cutting board and slice across the grain. Serve with vegetables and sauce.
