By Diana Rattray, About.com

This pot roast recipe is made with potatoes and carrots and rutabaga.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pot roast, 4 pounds
  • flour for dredging
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • salt and pepper

  • 1/4 cup water or beef broth
  • 4 medium potatoes, halved

  • 4 onions, cut in wedges
  • 1 small rutabaga, cut in 2-inch pieces

Preparation:

Dredge pot roast with the flour; brown in hot oil in a heavy Dutch oven or stock pot, turning to brown all sides. Put a rack under the roast. Season with salt and pepper; add sliced onion and water. Cover and simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Add vegetables and simmer 1 hour longer.
