I can't believe it's necessary to ask the question...

Yes, but we also include turnips and rutabaga. I've been tempted to add beets but don't want it to look like a murder

I do once in awhile, usually if I see a good looking pot roast on sale. I usually use this recipe, it's for beef stew but it also works as the liquid for a pot roast. https://www.fromvalerieskitchen.com/classic-stovetop-beef-stew/#wprm-recipe-container-60964
- The easiest pot roast recipe:
  One chuck roast
  Carrots
  Potatoes
  1 head of garlic
  Onion
  Two packets of brown gravy mix.
  Two packets of ranch dressing mix (yes, really).
  Two packets of Italian dressing mix (yes, really).
  Browning & seasoning sauce.
  Beef stock
  Combine packets in a bowl, and stir to evenly combine.
  Rub pot roast with a few dashes of browning sauce, until evenly covered.
  Chop carrots and potatoes into large chunks. Slice onion
  Peel garlic cloves.
  Fuckin throw everything into a slow cooker.
  Sprinkle seasoning mix over everything.
  Add about an inch of beef stock to the bottom of the pot.
  Set slow cooker to low, and fuck off for like 8-10 hours. Or if you’re using a leaner cut of meat, set to high and fuck off for 5’ish hours instead.

All the time.

Who can afford beef?!
- 4 ingredients;!?!? Who can afford that? Best I can do is 2.

Fuck yeah, I'm making one this weekend actually

....I can't find it.
Where's the Ed Sheeran bit? I'm sure there's a reference in there.
Is he the carrot? He's the carrot, isn't he?
- Oh he's in there
  
  The potato?
  Hmm... Maybe potato.
- squint

I'm not British, so I don't cook my roast.
- You roast your cook?
  
  I roast the roast, as it's proper.
  
  They eat it raw.

Wife makes it at least once a month.
- Yeah she needs to add a little more salt on the carrots

Pretty common here in the Midwest.

I prefer to do my roasts on a bed of aromatic mirepoix. I'll cook the potatoes separately.
- (Click saving) this guy (and myself) move the potatoes to another ceramic, add celery to the carrot-onion mix & chop that and leave it under the roast
  
  Bit more info, this is a common combination for stocks, soups and stews in French cuisine, traditionally 2:1:1 ratio onions to carrots and celery.
  In Italian cuisine the essentially same thing is Sofrito, there is also the Cajun Holy Trinity which varies ingredients but is for similar purposes.
  This is kind of a staple for a lot of quality cooking, you should at least make a stock from scratch at some point in your life and you'll see why these combinations are so important if you do so.

Nah. Nothing wrong with it, but I either don't have time for roast or have better things (to my taste) to cook with that time.
- Crock pot or pressure cooker will work just fine, just set the timer

That's one of the meals I first cook when Fall begins, and a big 'ol vat of 5 meat chili.

No. Vegan now.
- You should try this recipe, then.
  Best seitan roast I've had.
  
  Wow! That looks complicated but looks delicious!. I have to learn about saitan.

Pot roast? Cook pot roast? No, beef is too expensive, I just cook the pot.
- Nothing wrong with a pork roast.
  
  The smell from my childhood strongly disagree with you
  
  I'm gonna have to try that sometime. At my house, pork shoulder tends to get used for carnitas or pulled-pork barbecue.

Ngl, I hate cooked carrots. But I'll throw the rest together in a pan with a pack of Lipton French Onion soup mix. Reminds me of my grandma.
- I hate boiled carrots.
  
  Boiling gets the sweet carrot flavor out of the carrot and into the stew. It's like onions and celery, the point is not to have mushy bits of formerly flavorful vegetables, but to have those flavors in the food. If you're making a mirepoix for soup or stew, it is a mistake to leave big chunks or slices of carrot intact.
  Roasted carrots are different, though, I agree.

  I just made this recipe. I eat carrots raw all the time, rarely cooked. This recipe surprised me, the carrots were very, very good.
  They're chopped and cooked on the stovetop, boiled carrots are blasphemy, this recipe was god teir tho

I haven't done that for at least two weeks.

I actually just finished eating that half an hour ago. In the instant pot with some sauce. Good stuff.

I'm more into beef stew than roast beef but man I'd love to be able to pick some up from fast food place

I've switched to Ropa Vieja with rice. It's so much better and can easily freeze leftovers.

Stop cooking meat. No need for it anymore.
- You should do if it’s chicken in particular.
- I've tried. The bioavailability of nutrients in meat fits my adhd, lifestyle, and finances better. Without meat, I'm.... even more useless than I normally am.
- You don't have to use meat if you don't eat it.
  Seitan roast with potatoes, onions, and carrots is divine.
  Highly recommend this recipe.
- Sooooo... Eat it raw?

You forgot French onion soup
- Always wanted to make this at home but never have
  
  It's too easy. Throw everything in the crock pot and in 8 hours you're good to go. I like to break up the roast when it softens up to let the soup soak in better. My wife makes it. She might use golden mushroom soup instead of French onion. It's a nice comfort food especially during the colder months

The good old days..

Love that when it gets together nicely.
Haven't done one in ages though, what's your best recipes out there?

I’ll do that in bbq once in a bit still. But we usually do it in the pressure cooker. Carrots seperate though.
