an easier recipe that will turn out great every time is with a pork shoulder or beef, just use cheese and garlic italian salad dressing and marinade. dump it all in a crock pot for bout 8 hours. turns out amazing every time, and is great served over rice. its soooo tender.

Too little flavor for too much work

This recipe is definitely not quick!

It can however be improved in time if you use a slow cooker instead of all the manual process they've put in here.

Also, you may have to adjust the spices to give it a little more kick, unless you're English and are turned on by bland meats.

Not a bad recipe, just not what it was labeled to be nor what some with a more exciting palate will want to have regularly.

A bit bland

This recipe sounded so good for a cold autum night. I prepared exactly as written but I found it bland. I think maybe red wine instead of white..? A lot of time for a boring dish.

All of you fat calories in one meal. Maybe cut out the bacon.

Too many steps

Use a large cast iron skillet and cut all all the intermediate steps.

Omit the butter half the bacon and salt to cut calories and make a healthier meal.

Combine all ingredients in a Large cast iron skillet and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Server over BROWN rice.

Simple?

This pot roast recipe was under the article "Seven quick dinners". Just looking at the recipe...how is this quick? Just looking at the ingredients...I mean, what are "whole allspice berries"?!

Not quick, not simple.
