This Pot Roast with Root Vegetables is braised until tender in a flavorful sauce with red wine and rosemary. Lots of root vegetables turn it into a full meal and add an earthy sweetness.
Winter Comfort Food
Golden beets, carrots, parsnips combine to create a wonderful flavor combination. This wholesome, hearty pot roast is perfect for a cold winter evening.
There are so many layers of flavor in this pot roast. Sometimes a pot roast can be a little bland, but not this one.
How To Make Pot Roast With Root Vegetables
It starts with bacon and when there is bacon involved you know there is going to be lots of flavor. The bacon is cooked until crispy and then removed from the pot so that the chuck roast can be browned in the bacon grease.
Once browned, the chuck roast is removed from the Dutch oven and the Dutch oven is deglazed with a full cup of red wine. Be sure to use a good quality red wine that you like. I use a Merlot. Once the wine is reduced, the bacon and chuck roast are returned and all of the ingredients except the root vegetables are added. The pot roast cooks in the oven for 2 hours, then the root vegetables are added and it is cooked for an additional 45 minutes.
How To Serve
Serve this Pot Roast with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles to soak up the truly spectacular gravy. Fresh rolls are a great addition too. I love these Yeast Rolls.

I have made this recipe a million and one times this is my all time favorite pot roast recipe it’s the only one I will ever make again. I do have a couple of picky eaters in my house that are not fans of beets or parsnips and this recipe they absolutely love them both. Every time I make this recipe I have to double or triple the recipe because it’s truly that delicious and my large family can’t ever get enough
