Best Ever Pot Roast and Gravy

I used to make my roasts in my crock pot and they were ALWAYS dry, until my sister-in-law taught me how to do it in the oven. And I will never go back! This seriously is the best, most tender, and easiest to make roast you will ever eat!

ROAST
3-4 pound Chuck Roast (Safeway and Costco have GREAT chuck roasts)
Meat Tenderizer
Mrs. Dash Original
Pam

Sprinkle the roast with the meat tenderizer on all sides and let sit for 5-10 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 250 degrees, and spray a large (oven safe) pot with Pam. I use the largest one I have but make sure it has a lid. If not, foil works too. Sprinkle the roast again with a desired amount of Mrs. Dash. Place roast in large pot on the stove and sear all sides over medium-high heat. Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Let it cook for 5-6 hours.

GRAVY
Juices from roast
1 cup cold water
1/2 to 1 cup COLD water mixed with 3 tbls. flour (shake well to mix)

After roast is done cooking, remove from oven and poor juices into a sauce pan. Be sure to keep the roast covered while making the gravy so it doesn't dry out. Bring juices to a boil over high-heat and let it boil down almost to where you think it is about to burn. At that point pour 1 cup of water into the sauce pan and mix with a whisk. Then add the water mixed with the flour (this keeps the flour from clumping, but you have to make sure you mix it again before adding to the gravy). Mix together until it begins to thicken. There's no need to add salt, the Mrs. Dash keeps the gravy well flavored.

And Voila! Enjoy!
