Lucky Pot Roast

Ok, so it wasn't a lucky pot roast.  I was just lucky that I usually keep a supply of seasonong packets and broths on hand in case I need it.  Last week I needed it!  I defrosted a pot roast and was all ready to sear it and realized I didn't have everything I needed.  I dug through my cabinets to see what I could find.  I came up with a box of chicken broth and packet of Montreal steak seasoning.  I'm so glad I did!

I put a nice sear on both sides of the chuck roast in my dutch oven and then added the chicken broth.  Once the broth was in I poured the Montreal all over the chuck and the broth.  I brought the broth to a boil and then covered it and put it into a 375 oven for about 3 hours. 

Everyone noticed that this was something different than what I normally made.  The kids really liked it and my hubby actually wanted to take left overs for lunch and he hardly ever does that with pot roast.  Lucky Pot Roast will definitely be on the menu again!
