I Don’t Think I’ll Ever Go Back To My Old Recipe Again!
This Italian pot roast contains a lot of flavors that you will go crazy about. I have to admit that the first time I tasted this during a dinner at my brother’s place, I was speechless. When you take a bite of this pot roast, you would be attacked by several flavors all at the same time. It was an overwhelming experience for me. And then the flavors will instantly mellow into something soothing and almost comforting. You will then start to appreciate the taste and then recognize the flavors that were in there.
When I took my first bite of this, I was taken aback. And then when the flavors started to flow inside my mouth, I began to identify each and everyone of them. You will be surprised by how those flavors fused together so well to create one extraordinary pot roast recipe.
The best thing about this Italian pot roast recipe is that no flavor dominated the taste. There was balance in here- a quality every pot roast should have. You can taste the harmony between the ingredients, which would make you feel more comfortable and relaxed in eating it.
This is the perfect meal to serve for a family reunion. Everyone will appreciate the homey quality of this dish that would probably remind everyone of their childhood. This is going to be a hit; that’s for sure.

The one thing I love about pot roasts is that they’re very versatile. You can always adjust the flavors based on your preferences. It’s not similar to desserts like cake or pie that need precise measurement. The quality of this dish will not be affected just because you decided to add more salt or more pepper. My husband loves this recipe so much that he adapted this and made a version of his own. And oh, let’s not forget about the best thing- this is cooked in slow cooker, which makes the meat absorb the flavors more. Slow cooker also makes this super tender, a quality we all love in our meat dishes.
Check out what our friends from The Lemon Bowl have to say about this recipe:
“Slow Cooker Italian Pot Roast comes together in minutes and will permeate your house with the aromas of rosemary, garlic and red wine while it cooks.”
There’s red wine indeed, but its taste fused with the other flavors. You can taste it, but it’s very subtle. I never liked putting wine in my dishes, but it’s perfect for this recipe.
I just hope you enjoy this dish with your family.
