Add the sliced yellow onions to your dish. Add the pot roast and seasonings on top.

Add one cup of beef broth around the roast.

Notes

Any nutritional information is an estimate by online calculators. Please verify using your own data.

Store any leftovers with the remaining broth in an airtight container in your fridge. This pot roast will be good for up to four days after making.

I used a three pound roast. If using a large roast be sure to increase your cook time (the rule is about an hour per pound). For roasts, internal temperature should read 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, or 170° for well done.
