This is a Fancy version of the Lipton Onion pot Roast I am having for dinner tonight. No doubt her's taste good and is very fancy for a pot roast but the original recipe is from the 60's i just wish she would have acknowledged it. Also most mom's made beef French dip with the leftover pot roast the next day.

[@donedwards5301]

This looks out of this world. We always use a slow cooker. Can you recommend any adaptations that would work with a slow cooker?

[@recoil53]

Why wouldn't you just do the browning in a pan and just braise everything in a slow cooker? What adjustments need to be made?

***warning please read all before making*** I made the mistake of making this DELICIOUS roast.... now my family wants it ALL THE TIME! BEWARE!! The amazing flavor is addictive! No matter what size roast I make there is NEVER any leftovers. Sigh!

[@SonnyMeadows]

I would add roasted potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts

[@burningbelow4424]

What was the temp of the oven??

[@Deathscythe91]

6:30 gordon ramsey : wtf did you just pour fcking water over my fcking crunchy buns?????? IT WILL GET FCKING SOGGY

[@jfdd43]

Did she say that salt promotes Caramelization song stops the meat from sweeting? Salt makes proteins sweet. It literally draws water out, which makes it harder to brown... Also, the browning is mostly the Maillard Reaction, not caramelization. And it definitely does not ‘seal in the juices’, as she implied

[@EDWEIRDITUDE]

6:38 tell that to Germany

[@TerriTerriHotSauce]

wow loll

[@jeff1204abc]

underrated see you in hell joke

[@Rymdkakor]

Mozzarella with french onion soup? Mon dieu! Use gruyere instead!

[@ashebeboyce2551]
