Pot Roast Cooked on the Stove with Red Wine Gravy

Are you in the mood for something healthy and delicious? Well, this awesome tasting chuck roast that can be made right on your stove top and left to slowly simmer on a chilly day is both healthy and delicious!

This chuck roast is cooked with red wine and a bit of tomato paste and a hint of brown sugar to give it a really robust gravy that uses no flour or butter to thicken.  The gravy thickens by using just a bit of the carrots and also by cooking down the wine, leaving a delicious natural thickened gravy.

The potatoes are cooked right in the broth and turn out tender but not mushy like they can in the crockpot. This chuck roast simmered on the stove all day is perfect for a Sunday dinner.
