Down-Home Pot Roast
Who’s to know these spicy enchiladas and Yankee dips were once pot roast, served with potatoes and carrots? Wrap the extra meat in a tortilla with chiles and cheeses, then reinvent it on a roll with mashed potatoes and onion jus.

Ingredients
6 pounds beef chuck roast
2 cups red wine
1 cup olive oil and vinegar salad dressing, Newman’s Own®
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, Lea & Perrins®
1 envelope (0.6-ounce) zesty Italian salad dressing mix, Good Seasons®
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 brown or yellow onions, sliced
3 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces

Directions
Place meat in a large zip-top plastic bag. In a medium bowl, whisk together wine, olive oil and vinegar salad dressing, Worcestershire sauce, and dry Italian salad dressing mix. Pour over meat in bag. Seal bag; turn to coat meat. Marinate in refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight, turning bag occasionally.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add meat and brown on all sides. Place in roasting pan and set aside.
Add onion and celery to same skillet; cook for 3 minutes. Stir in broth and meat loaf seasoning; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and carefully pour over meat. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 2 hours.
Remove roast from oven and add potatoes and carrots. Re-cover pan. Bake for 1 hour more. Remove roast, potatoes, and carrots from pan. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Strain pan juices and set aside. Slice meat against the grain. Serve meat with potatoes, carrots, and strained pan juices. Garnish with celery leaves (optional).
