It starts with bacon and when there is bacon involved you know there is going to be lots of flavor. The bacon is cooked until crispy and then removed from the pot so that the chuck roast can be browned in the bacon grease.

Pot Roast cooked in Dutch oven

Once browned, the chuck roast is removed from the Dutch oven and the Dutch oven is deglazed with a full cup of red wine. Be sure to use a good quality red wine that you like. I use a Merlot. Once the wine is reduced, the bacon and chuck roast are returned and all of the ingredients except the root vegetables are added. The pot roast cooks in the oven for 2 hours, then the root vegetables are added and it is cooked for an additional 45 minutes.

How To Serve

Serve this Pot Roast with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles to soak up the truly spectacular gravy. Fresh rolls are a great addition too. I love these Yeast Rolls.
