Notes

To make gravy from the drippings: Heat drippings in a saucepan with a little extra water if needed. Once it's boiling, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch that has been mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water. Whisk until it boils again and turn down to a simmer to thicken.
Pot roast will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.
