Stove top Pot Roast

No need for a knife to cut this tender meat. A fork will do fine. It is so delicious. The veggies give the dish an extra umph. You will find that the gravy gives it the finishing touch. Even though, It is what I considered one of my Winter comfort foods. I have made this in the warm weather. After all how many burgers, or hot dogs can you eat all summer. So, do go for the comfort foods all year long. Enjoy.
