Well MizzNezz you have a wonderful recipe here! I had a 4 1/2 lb roast so used it and replaced four cups of the water with some beef broth. This makes a lot of broth in the end so be prepared to freeze it for other meals or gravies. The roast was left whole and I cooked it for 5 hours instead of 3 and it was perfect and so tender by dinnertime! I added the carrots and potatoes as you directed near the end and they were crisp tender when served. Absolutely wonderful and I'm so surprised it has taken so long for someone to try and review this wonderful dish! We will be enjoying leftovers tomorrow night!
