Went through my most recent three-ring binder of [Email]C@H[/Email] magazines to pick this week's menus. Sunday night was Perfect Pot Roast, AKA Guinness Pot Roast. I followed the recipe, didn't measure the garlic, but used a whole head sliced thin. Made regular mashed potatoes, instead of the suggested cheddar & kale mashed.
The problem is that my oven is unreliable and wouldn't hold a temperature for 2+ hours, so I used my convection oven instead... my Dutch oven is too tall for that oven, so I switched to a deep ceramic casserole dish. I thought the difference in oven and temp would balance out, but it really didn't turn out as tender as it should have. Need to adjust time or temp until I get a new oven.
The gravy was to die for! We rated this recipe as "Exellent" and will give it another try. Warming it up for leftovers tonight and looking forward to it!
