Pot Roast
Description
Dad's pot roast — a chuck or rump roast stuffed with garlic slivers, browned all over in olive oil, then braised in a Dutch oven with onion soup mix, wine-deglazed drippings, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms at 300°F for 2–2½ hours until fork-tender. Basted several times during cooking so the onion soup mix creates a rich, savory gravy.

Note
Baste the roast 2–3 times during cooking so the onion soup mix flows down into the gravy — this is what builds the rich, savory flavor of the finished dish.
