SWEET-AND-SOUR POT ROAST

Sweet-and-Sour Pot Roast image

I grew up on a farm, and we ate beef often. I was so pleased to find this recipe 15 years ago, since it gives pot roast a new mouthwatering flavor. I'm always looking for no-fuss delicious meals, and this slow-cooked supper is definitely one of them.-Erica Warkentin, Dundas, Ontario
