"I did miss having potatoes, but I believe adding the potatoes and their starch might change the flavor and cooking process of the beef, so I plan on removing some of the gravy after 2 hours and making new potatoes in a separate pot. The recipe did not specify how much canned crushed tomatoes to use, so I bought a larger (20 oz.?) can and used all of it. I also only have a larger stainless pot, so I browned the beef in a cast iron skillet, then transferred the beef and its drippings to my larger all-clad stainless pot. I think the gravy would go well with roasted garlic mashed potatoes as well. Alton Brown uses and immersion blender to liquefy his gravy and some of the vegetables, so I might give that a shot next time. This is a very inexpensive dish that makes a lot of servings and left overs. Thanks again, Tyler!

"Once again, Tyler makes me feel like an Iron Chef! I used the wine bc I had some, but followed the recipe exactly. Loving pot roast as much as I do, my family members have always made it for me, so I never had to make it myself.
