Grandma's Pot Roast

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chuck roast
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 pint mushrooms, chopped
• 2 sprigs of thyme
• 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into logs
• 6 gold potatoes
• salt and pepper

Steps

1. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear chuck roast in a dutch oven on medium heat until beautifully browned.

3. Remove the meat and sweat the onions, garlic, mushrooms and thyme on low heat.

4. Once they start to get a little tender, place the meat on top and tuck the carrots and potatoes around it.

5. Cover and cook for 5 to 6 hours at 275 or until an internal temperature of 205°F is reached: This is the ideal temperature for pot roast, as it ensures the collagen breaks down, making the meat incredibly tender and easy to shred.
