Pot roast is the definition of comfort food. Tender, fall apart chunks of chuck roast over mashed potatoes, smothered with red wine gravy? Yes please. As much as I love my slow cooker, I always braise my pot roast in the oven. You can't beat the texture and flavor that results from browning in a dutch oven on the stove top, and then slow roasting in the oven. Absolute perfection! While this meal is perfect for the holidays, don't save it for a special occasion - it's great for Sunday supper ...
