Marie Callender’s Braised and Slow-Roasted Pot Roast is so good that they had to make it as a frozen meal, which you can buy at your local store. The restaurant version involves “tender chunks of chuck roast slow-simmered for full flavor and tenderness, topped with a cabernet beef reduction,” and is served with fresh mashed potatoes and fresh seasonal vegetables.
