    Beef shoulder pot roast

    I love pot roast. I had a chuck and a shoulder roast in the freezer, decided on the shoulder. Got my goto pot stews and roasts, a Lodge 6 qt. made in the 1930s, with scallops on the bottom. Browned the roast up good and then put it in the oven. About 90 minutes ago added new potatoes, carrots, and rutabagas. Can't wait for supper!

    A fabulous dinner made even better by the vintage cookware adding the excellence of cast iron and the long history of the pot. There is just something right about using an almost 100 year old pot. Sometimes adding V8 makes for a wonderful gravy terrific to scoop up with bread.

    About half way through, put in a pack of store bought gravy mix in 2 cups of water. The juices and fat from the meat and veggies made a nice thin gravy. The V8 sounds good--have to try that. More vegetable and some tomato never hurt a roast I've had. Thanks.

    Pot roast with vegetables cooked in the oven is The Best !
    The flavors and gravy can't be duplicated .

    There's a recipe called "Mississippi Oven Pot Roast" that's a winner .

    im lazy and cheap. My shoulder roast is a front shoulder off a small whitetail and i do them in the power pressure cooker. Take them out of the freezer toss it into the pressure cooker still frozen. Cook for an hour drain off the fat redered out to that point, then toss in taters and carrots and onion and a large can of cream of mush soup and a pack of lipton onion soup mix and about 3/4s cup of water half and fire it off for another hour or if its in the morning put it on the crock pot setting and let it go all day. Meat about falls apart and your gravy is already made. If you want it falling off the bone tender but want that oven taste then just thaw it and brown it before you start and do the second cooking for 30 minutes. For beef roasts (that i rarely do) i dont worry about draining off the fat and theres no need for water. But a bone in shoulder roast to me will always taste better then a rump roast without a bone.

    I did my first beef pot-roast on the pellet grill.
    It turned out great.

    Did a chuck roast Saturday. I injected it with 1 cup water and enough Johnny's and garlic powder to look good then let it rest for 4 hours. It went in a dutch oven for an hour @350 after which I added an onion, double handful of red potatoes and a few carrots. An hour later internal temps were 167 so I opulled it and let it rest for 5 minutes before carving. Just good food.

    My Wife makes the Greatest Pot Roast.
    And She does it all on TOP of the stove.
    Chuck Roast that melts in your mouth, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions.
    With a thick rich gravy that sticks to it all.
    Made in a big old Magnalite pot.

    I used to have some of my grandmother’s iron cookware. Unfortunately, they were lost in my divorce. My Ex said she didn’t know what happened to them. I’m sure she took them to the antique dealer along with a lot my other stuff she had no right to. What I miss the most are the two big skillets with really high sides. I’ve never seen others like them for sale.

    Yummy! I'd ask for some photos of the completed roast, but I'm sure there's nothing left to take a picture of!

    I love my mothers chuck roast (she's gone now) Found out after many years she got it off a Cambell's Cream of Mushroom soup can. Still the best. Cut up the roast and Brown the chuck roast pieces. Add in lots of large onion pieces, a package of dried french onion soup mix and two cans of the regular Cream of Mushroom soup (the white ones not the brown ones). Low heat for about three or four hours until the meat is soooo tender. We love it over egg noodles.
