We visited a local firehouse to find out what one of their favorite dishes is and came out with a chuck roast recipe that's so good, your whole gang is going to be fired up! Our Firehouse Pot Roast is slow-cooked and topped with an unforgettably good, homemade barbecue sauce that'll leave you smiling all dinner long.
What You'll Need
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 (3-1/2- to 4-1/2-pound) chuck roast
- 2 large onions, cut in half and thinly sliced
- 2 cups barbecue sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/4 cup water
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a Dutch oven over high heat, heat oil; brown chuck roast on both sides. Place onions on top and around roast.
- In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Mix well, pour over roast, and cover.
- Roast 3 to 3-1/2 hours, or until beef is fork-tender.
- Remove roast to a cutting board, cut into chunks, and serve topped with sauce.
Notes
- Serve with mashed potatoes and baby carrots.
- No Dutch oven? No worries! Just use a 9- x 13-inch baking dish instead.
- And let's not leave any of that delicious BBQ sauce behind--mashed potatoes, anyone?

Hi there! To make this in a pressure cooker, just leave out the 1/4 cup of water. Everything else will work just fine. :)

The homemade bbq sauce specified in the recipe is 2 cups canned bbq sauce, 1 c beef broth, 3 cloves garlic, 2T hot sauce, 1T chilli powder and 1/4 C water. Easy peasy.

Cheez! I still don't get it! Are the remaining ingredients supposed to be the BBQ sauce? It doesn't work out to be 2 cups does it. So, what gives. ?? Maybe someone at Mr. Food can reread the recipe and try to figure it out. I figured they also had the 2 cups of some BBQ sauce and then the rest is added, or there wouldn't be much of any "gravy" to the recipe.

Hello - Yes, everything is correct. The remaining ingredients make up the semi-homemade barbecue sauce. There is just the right amount of "gravy" for the roast. :) Enjoy!

I hate to say this, but I'm now confused about the sauce.

The recipe clearly states to "combine remaining ingredients" which are the makings of your homemade bbq sauce. Easey peasy unless you failed Grade 3. Peace =D

The homemade b-b-q sauce is the jarred sauce enhanced with onions, garlic, beef broth, hot sauce, and chili powder. Sounds right to me.

It just doesn't get more refreshing than watermelon pops in the summer! Plus, watermelon is a great fruit to help keep you hydrated when the sun is blazing overhead. We like to add a little bit of something extra to our Fruity Watermelon Pops by mixing in chopped berries or fresh mint! Yum!
