I hope you all had a lovely and relaxing Christmas! We scaled back a lot on the gatherings this year and made it a point to keep the month of December as stress-free as possible. We didn't bake any cookies or host our traditional family breakfast. I bought most gifts online and opted for gift bags instead of wrapping paper. And, I didn't even put up a tree at home. After nearly 30 years of sticking with the same routine, I decided to shuck tradition for once and just exist in my own space. And it was glorious. But, the one thing I didn't skip out on was our annual Christmas Eve dinner. We spend every Christmas Eve with my mom and I am always tasked with bringing the main course meat for dinner. I usually make a prime rib or something similar, but keeping with the theme of simplicity this year, I opted to bake A Honey of a Pot Roast from Golden Blossom Honey instead.
I honestly chose this recipe because there were minimal ingredients and it looked pretty effortless as far as prep went, both of which were really important to me this year. Plus, even though there weren't many ingredients or steps in the recipe, it still sounded flavorful. I decided to toss some potatoes and carrots into the pan halfway through cooking to make this a true one pan meal. I was so impressed with the final result and how everything cooked to perfection with ease, I will more than likely stick with this roast for any other holiday dinners that I'm tasked with bringing the meat dish to. It will make a nice feast for New Year's, or thinking ahead, for a special Valentine's Day meal. Or, simply for a lazy Sunday dinner. It's great for holidays or for easy family days at home. I love a recipe that can swing both ways, between holidays or quiet family days, this roast works for all.
Ingredients
4 lbs. beef chuck roast or other suitable cut for pot roast
1/2 package onion soup mix
3 Tablespoons water or dry red wine
1/2 cup tomato juice
