Pot Roast

Looking for a warm and hearty meal? Try my pot roast. It’s pretty simple to make. Just throw your ingredients in a pot and let it simmer away for a few hours. This meal is perfect comfort food. Definitely a meal worth sharing.
Here are the ingredients to serve 8-10 people:

- Brown meat on all sides.
- Add the onions, garlic, carrots, celery, mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, salt and pepper, beef broth, and crushed tomatoes.
- Drizzle a little bit of olive oil and cover the pot with lid.
- Reduce heat to low and braise beef for 3 hours.
- Check on beef every 30 min and baste it with the pan juices.

- Skim fat off of pot when done cooking.
