I"m not g'nad, and I don't even play him on TV ;o), but here's a pot-roast seasoning suggestion. I use McCormick brand Montreal Steak Seasoning. Some of the ingredients are Coarse Salt, Black Pepper, Dill and Coriander Seed, Red Pepper, Garlic and Paprika. It is VEY good!
Dredge the roast in flour mixed with a tablespoon of the seasoning, then brown it on all sides in the big pan you're going to use for cooking. When it's browned, add some water to cook it in (put a little more seasoning in the water), then put the lid on it and put it on a very low heat for several hours! It will be yummy!
I don't have that seasoning and can't count on it being at the store...but I have most of the ingredients. That's a good start - thanks!
I did brown it with a little flour before and cook it like that...it was vey good, and tender. This time I want to use a bit more seasoning. Only think I don't have is the coriander...but that IS something I could get...or substitute something else that smells right!
