Not ya mama's pot roast. Maybe, it might be similar I don't know actually. Anyway, this is my recipe for Sunday pot roast! This is a Sunday pot roast because it takes about 5 hours total to make. I know, that's a lot. But, 90% of that is
not active cooking time. I prefer using a dutch oven for this recipe. That makes it a one-pot meal. This recipe comfortably serves 6 people or makes 6 meals if you're meal prepping for one person.
Delicious fall apart tender chuck roast with delicious gravy and carrots and cabbage! Flavored with a mixture of traditional herbs and a touch of horseradish! Don't worry if you're not a huge fan of horseradish, it's not a very strong flavor in the recipe. You can also leave it out if you're really opposed to it, you do you. You can sub or add any sturdy vegetables you like. Some recommendations: parsnips, turnips, brussel sprouts, rutabaga, collard greens, or sweet potatoes.
This recipe can also easily be made gluten and/or dairy-free. To make it gluten-free, simply use gluten-free flour in the gravy. I recommend using oat, sorghum, or buckwheat flour. To make this recipe dairy-free, replace the butter in the recipe with vegan/plant buttery spread. I used gluten-free oat flour and vegan butter in mine.
This would be great served with mashed potatoes or roasted new potatoes. Or you could really impress any company by serving this with my dairy-free scalloped potatoes:

I also love this Sunday pot roast served with a piece of good, crusty bread! Gluten-free and missing good, bready things? While this pot roast bakes whip up some gluten-free dairy-free English muffins! Here's a link to that recipe: https://www.mapletaffyandlousytomatoes.com/recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-english-muffins/
For a low carb alternative to bread or potatoes serve this with some mashed cauliflower or some roasted turnips. Whatever you serve with, I'm sure you'll love it.
