Have your roast and veggies simmering together on your stovetop until you're ready to eat. This is a simple recipe, and great for company. The leftovers are delicious the next day (if you have any)! Feel free to add or remove any of the extra vegetables that cook along with the roast. Parsnips, sweet potatoes, and other root vegetables make a great addition to the pot roast.
