It doesn't get any better than this..

I was really hungry for Beef...and if asked what is my favorite comfort food? I wouldn't hesitate to claim "a pot roast dinner." That's what we had for dinner last night. We have leftover roast beef for cold sandwiches and you can't beat that either!.
While preparing my dinner, I took a few pictures.

I prefer nice small carrots and potatoes & fresh green beans cooked along side the roast. The oven hot, with aromas filling the air throughout the house on a cold snow day. I can smell onion, garlic and bay leaf as I enter the kitchen. Yes, I love a pot roast dinner. Honestly, It doesn't get much better than this.

Add black pepper, bayleaf, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, and a sliced onion. Pour in 1 cup of water and simmer, covered 1 -1/1/2 hours.( add more waterif necessary to keep 1/2 - 1 inch of liquid in the bottom of the dutch oven.)

Turn the roast over, add vegetables, carrots, potaotes, & green beans. Cover and simmer in oven another 45 minutes. or until roast and vegetables are tender.

Remove the roast and vegetables to a hot serving plate & keep warm while you make the gravy.
