❤️ Sunday, November 8Grandma's Sunday Pot Roast with Potatoes, Carrots & Homemade Gravy

Happy Sunday, friends! ❤️

There's something about Sunday dinner that brings back the sweetest memories.

I can almost picture families coming home from church, gathering around the table, and enjoying a big homemade meal together.

Today, we're making Grandma's Sunday Pot Roast, slow-cooked until tender with potatoes, carrots, onions, and rich homemade gravy.

It's the kind of meal that fills the house with wonderful aromas and brings everyone running when you say, "Supper's ready!"

3½–4½ hours

6–8 servings

Sunday family dinner

🥘 Ingredients

• 3–4 lb beef chuck roast

• 5 medium potatoes, quartered

• 4 large carrots, cut into chunks

• 2 medium onions, quartered

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 3 cups beef broth

• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• Salt to taste

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water for gravy

🍲 Let's Get Cooking!

1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 325°F.

2. Season the roast. Rub the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.

3. Brown the beef. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until nicely browned.

4. Add the flavor. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add onions and garlic around the roast.

5. Let it cook low and slow. Cover tightly and place in the oven for approximately 2 hours.

6. Add the vegetables. Place potatoes and carrots around the roast. Cover and continue cooking for another 1½–2½ hours, until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.

7. Make homemade gravy. Remove roast and vegetables. Bring the cooking liquid to a simmer on the stovetop. Stir together cornstarch and cold water, then whisk into the broth until thickened.

8. Serve Sunday dinner! Slice or shred the roast and spoon homemade gravy over the meat and vegetables.

Serve with green beans, homemade rolls, or a warm slice of cornbread!

💰 Sunday's Chuckwagon Money-Saving Tip

Here's a wonderful way to make one roast stretch into several meals!

Save leftover pot roast and turn it into hot roast beef sandwiches, beef vegetable soup, or a hearty beef-and-potato skillet.

One Sunday roast can help feed your family again on Monday or Tuesday!

Just remember to refrigerate leftovers promptly and use within 3–4 days, or freeze for later.

❤️ Sunday's Food for Thought — The Blessing of Gathering Together

You know, friends, when I think about Sunday dinners from years gone by, I don't remember whether the plates matched or whether everything on the table was perfect.

I remember the love.

I remember the conversations, the laughter, and the people gathered around the table.

Some of those precious people may no longer be sitting at our tables today, but the memories we made with them remain treasures in our hearts.

That's why I encourage you to make time for the people you love.

Put down the phones. Share a meal. Tell the old family stories. Laugh together. Pray together.

And above all, thank God for the blessings He's placed in your life.

Today's Scripture — KJV

"O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever." — Psalm 107:1

What a wonderful reminder that through every season of life, God's goodness and mercy remain!

As we continue our November journey of thankfulness, may we never forget that some of life's greatest blessings aren't things at all.

They're the people we love, the memories we cherish, and the faith that carries us through every season.
