French Onion Pot Roast

I love a good pot roast and this recipe delivers a pot roast with a deep rich onion flavor. If you like French onion soup you will love this pot roast. I did not add in any root vegetables as is common with many pot roast recipes, but you can certainly add them if you like.

    After 3 hours check the meat for doneness. The meat should fall apart easily. Remove meat to a platter. Remove and discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

    I served the pot roast over mashed potatoes. Ladle the onion sauce over the pot roast and potatoes. Garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy!

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
