Autumn Pot Roast image

When the brisk autumn arrives, I tend to cook with fresh apple cider quite a bit. There is nothing like the crisp, tangy taste! Over the years, I began to add it to my pot roast recipe, and it became a family favorite. It just adds a hint of sweetness that really lifts the gravy from average to wonderful. Even "non-Pot Roast Lovers" (which there happen to be quite a few) enjoy this twist. I also know most people like potatoes in their pot roast, but I always serve my pot roast with either Recipe #290398 or Recipe #343221. I would love to try this in the slow cooker sometime, too!
