Recipe...??...I make it so many different ways..... ..today it's Meat/carrots/onion/potatos/tomato...and a sprig of bay leaf.....

[Barb]

Sounds good Jon.  Here is my way:
I use a cooking bag, into it I put a boneless chuck roast, cut up carrots, celery, onion, potato in large pieces, salt and pepper, other spices if wanted, about 1/2 c. water or wine or juice.  Close up bag, poke a few holes in the top, make sure it is in a shallow pan, bake slowly for 2-3 hrs depending on size of meat, about 325-350 degrees.  Open bag, pour out liquid and thicken it some for gravy, may need to add water to it, have a feast.  Always works and tastes great and no mess to clean up, just throw out the bag.

Yep, sounds good, Barb....I've used bags too....my favorite is on the grill.....sear both sides to seal some juices, then I have an old steel pan, I pop it in the pan with some 'Sweet Baby Ray's' and a few tomatoes....cook for about and hour, then take and sear a little sauce on it..back in the pan and add drained crushed pineapple......maybe a little bit more of the SBR's sauce....cover and cook another couple hours til it starts to really fall apart.....my kids know it as 'Pot Roast Hawaiian'....and it's delicious, I grill, soaked, corn on the cob(husk on) while I'm finishing the meat....
I have a coffee can that I fill with boiling water, then add a few sticks of butter to float on top....pull the corn husk back and dip it in the can, as you slowly pull it out..it coats with butter....Mmmmmmm

Roastin' Ears!  Yum Yum Yum.  When I was a kid we used to get field corn, it's only good for roastin' for about a week, and throw it in the camp fire and let it cook.  Best corn I ever ate!  I think it picks up a sweetness from cooking in the husk...

I've had field corn. It has to be really early before it loads on starch. About a 10 or 12" ear. After it loads up it's almost sickening to eat, but before that it is really very good. You can soak them in ice cold water and flash freeze them in zip lock bags. That stops the change. If you just pick them and don't freeze them they load up anyways.

I never knew that.  The only field corn I've ever eaten was terrible starchy stuff.  My favorite varieties of sweet corn are Merit and Silver Queen.  The have the right balance of starch and sweetness for me.  Silver King is sickeningly sweet.

Some of the varieties are so sweet and starchy I get sick on them too.

I put the pot roast into a covered baking dish, or pot. He hee. Before this I take a bit of A1 maybe a tablespoon or so and rub it into the roast. I put a half of a Killians red ale in the bottom of the pan, water works too. I put one long green onion on the top of the roast and some fresh black pepper, not much and a bit of sea salt. I take two white potatoes, put a hole in them, insert a clove of garlic into each and place them in the pot hole up. Bake it for 1 hour at 350. If you want a rarer roast play with putting the roast in later the spuds need an hour minimum.

Pull the roast and let it sit for 15 minutes before you cut it. I take the spuds and mash them with the garlic in them and the skin on. You can peel the spud easy after it is baked. Mash them well to mix in the baked garlic. A bit of pepper and good to go. The onion is my favorite part.

LOL...that's an awful small pot roast to be able to cook in an hour....

[Frank The Plumber]

Not the way I like them. I use a smaller roast about 6"x6" and I like the center really rare. I think I buy a nice roast too so it's tender. Mine turn out good if I buy the roast but not so good if I don't. Now I have to see which cut I buy.

[LizStreithorst]

Your pot roast sounds very good, Frank.  I want to know what cut you buy.

[Frank The Plumber]

I found out I'm using a rump roast. I'm cheating. Ha ha. Turns out nice though. I'm going to keep cheating.
