Hi chuck. i tried this recipe yesterday, and my son LOVED it. the roast was moist, tender, and sliced easily. so easy to prepare, too. thanks, debi


It doesn't fall apart? Maybe I'm not understanding, but isn't that what you want the roast to do? I love it when the roasts fall apart -- they're so tender.


I prefer my roast firm so it can be sliced. I have eaten it the other way as well and really it's more of a preference than anything. The roast I prepare is still very moist and tender even though it doesn't fall apart.

Thanks Debi for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it this way. It's one of my favorite meals.

Take Care, Chuck :)

Sounds yummy. i hate not being able to slice a roast nicely. it will be great to have a roast that slices great and still is moist and tender.
