The Perfect END for a Perfect Meal – Pot Roast with Onions!
It was a cool, sunny, and delicious Autumn day today. It was the kind of day that begged for a comfort food kind of dinner. As it happens to be Thursday, I thought I’d do a “throw back” to one of the first videos I ever did as well as share a recipe from my book, KitchAnnette Red Carpet Menus.
It was back in 2000 that the movie American Beauty was nominated for Oscar® Best Picture. One dish that screams American dinner to me is pot roast. Aha! American Beauty became American Booty! RUMP roast. Ha! If you don’t already have a copy of the book, I hope you get one. More humor AND more delish dishes.
And so the perfect end to this day would be to make the perfect END – a RUMP roast, my pot roast.
This was one of the first cooking videos I ever did. The always debonair Joe Becwar held my hand through many of the first videos and dishes. I’ve come a long way since then (as has the equipment to make a video), although there’s something to be said for a longer form video that talks you through every step. Hmmmm….
But I digress. Make this delicious and easy pot roast dinner. I’ve had many a pot roast with carrots and potatoes but I prefer the onions. They add such a richness to the whole dish that elevate the flavor.
