What a wonderful autumn day! And what better to have for dinner than Pot Roast. There’s something about eating pot roast on a cool day after being outside raking leaves or giving your trees their final fall haircut. This recipe is simple to make and easily customizable to whatever veggies you prefer. I highly recommend making it as written the first time though. It’s a keeper.
How to make Autumn Pot Roast
- Sear the seasoned beef in a hot cast iron Dutch oven.
- Add beer, spices, Worcestershire sauce, fresh rosemary and thyme. Cover and roast in the oven for 1 hour at 350ºF.
- Remove the Dutch oven and add the potatoes, carrots, squash, and green beans, cover and roast for another 1 1/2 hours. Remove immediately for medium, otherwise cook a little longer for a more well done roast. Slice or shred and serve with the vegetables and jus.

- 2 tsp ground chipotle

- 1 ½ lbs green beans, trimmed

- Cover and put in a 350 oven for 1 hour.

Pour a little of the juice over the vegetables, cover and return to the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Test the meat at this point. If you like it medium then you can remove it from the oven. If you like it more done, then cook for another hour. Slice or cut the meat into chunks and serve with the vegetables and lots of juice.
