Pot roast generations past are not as forgotten as you might think. With just a few minutes prep time and the simplest pot roast recipe ever, you'll be well on their way to a fantastic pot roast dinner.

Pot roasts are inexpensive cuts of beef bones or beef shoulder when slow cooked with fresh vegetables into a lovely home meal. Too many cooks who have never tried cooking a pot roast they may feel a bit intimidated at first. But in reality pot roasts are easy and secure a wonderful nutritious home meal.

Because the leg and shoulder cuts are well marbled with fat, when slow cooked meat is fork tender. One trick to the perfect roast pot to cook the meat with a wet method. To do this, combine meat and vegetables in a slow cooker or crock pot with enough broth to cover at least half of the roast. Then slowly cook for 4-5 hours or until meat is tender and tasty.
