"This will be going into the regular chili rotation at our house. How lucky that Whole Foods just happened to have chuck roast on sale this weekend. The recipe looks daunting, but it's really not difficult, just a lot of ingredients and a lot of chopping. Delicious way to spend a snowy Saturday.""

"We made this over the weekend and loved it. It does make a lot of sauce so we might cut that back a bit but will definitely be making this again"

"To CookHooked...it's Kosher salt. You can find it in the aisle with the spices and salt and pepper. It's a coarser grained salt. You could probably use sea salt too, just not the fine grained iodized table salt. Tastes better and healthier for you too!"

"Just made this tonight and we liked it, but thought it was a bit salty (and I'm a saltaholic!). Like another reviewer, I think I'll add more ricotta next time, definitely some garlic and omit the 1/4 tsp. salt in the filling. It was easier than it looked to prepare and a great jumping off recipe for any filling combo you might want to try. A gr"

"Served this to a "we love potatoes" crowd and everyone loved it. On the show she used 3T. maple syrup so that's what I did, and I only used 1t. salt. I don't know about the reviewer who said you could halve the recipe for 6 people, it was completely gone at my table of six. I find the Israeli couscous in the bulk section at Sunflower Markets or Sprouts

"Put me down as another who isn't crazy about Pot Roast, but we loved this recipe. I did end up cooking it for about 4 hours, but our boiling point is a lower temperature here in Colorado so that might have been a factor. I did it more like the show - he quartered one onion, cut an entire head of garlic in half. We had the last of our garden tomatoes, so I just chopped them up and used about 12-14 oz., and subbed leftover wine for the water. I don't think the gravy comes across with a huge tomato taste, my husband is not a huge tomato fan either and he really enjoyed it. We also really enjoyed the sweet potato recipe from this episode but weren't crazy about it with the Pot Roast.
