Growing up I was never a pot roast fan, but since starting this blog I have found several pot roast recipes that I really like. Of all the recipes I've tried, this might be my favorite. The roast was extremely tender and juicy, and the sauce was tangy and has a little zip to it. I served this roast over some Cheddar Ranch Grits - OMG! The grits were good enough to eat all on their own, but were incredible when combined with the roast. This was SO good that I want to make it again next week - seriously!

I had BBQ pork over cheese grits last night, but have never tried the ranch! We would love for you to share over at our FIRST ever Tasty Tuesday linky party!

What a fantastic neat idea to put ranch in grits. Have eaten them all my life and never had them other than plain, butter or cheese.
That roast on them sends them over the top.
Your post made me hungry. Good thing it has the recipe in it. Won't be drooling for long. I'm going to try this. Thanks! =)

Looks delicious! I never know what kind of roast to use. Is there a specific cut that comes out best this way?
I will pay you to bring this to me!! haha
Will definitely have to try this one!
I JUST made these grits to go with my leftover roast from last night. My grits dried up very quickly and I like them runny. I will make them again b/c the flavor was amazing! I will add much more broth next time! Thanks for the recipe.
Suzanne - I do like my grits a little firmer. I am not a runny grits girl.
This sounds soooo good
I have NEVER liked cooked grits at home and now- two recipes in a row that make them DELIGHTFUL! I'm in love!!!
This is going on the meal plan for next week! Thanks, I can't wait!
Is chili sauce that red stuff that looks kind of like ketchup? Just want to make sure I am getting the right thing because this looks delicious!
Jennifer - yes - it near the ketchup as well.
Absolute heaven! I just copied this to my database to try. It looks and sounds ridonkulously good. And the grits? Get out of here and shut your mouth! (good thing)
Tried this last night and I thought it was awesome. The only thing I changed was to use veggie broth instead of chicken (so I could feed my vegetarian some grits.) Thanks for the great recipe!
Made this for tonight's dinner and it was delicious!
oh my word...I want that plate right now!!! haha...yum!
Phooey. I was so excited to see this recipe at Weekend Potluck. I would love to pin this and promote it on my Facebook page if you could just add a little link back to one of the cohosts. :)
Is chili sauce "siracha"? Is it super spicy? Thanks!!
Taylor - no, it is a spicy ketchup. It is near the ketchup and cocktail sauce. It isn't very spicy at all.
I immediately started drooling when I saw the pictures. Oh lordy, this MUST happen and SOON.
I made this today & substituted a Diet Dr Pepper & didn't use hot sauce then shredded it up before adding it back to the gravy. Served on hoagie roll. It was super yummy! Thank you!
gurrrrrl - this is a slow cooker slap FULL of ridonculousness. such a winner of a recipe! thanks for sharing. my family absolutely loved it.
Carla - glad to hear it was a hit!
What kind of hot sauce do you use? This recipe looks amazing! Can't wait to try it!
Heather - I used Crystal's hot sauce. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Hi! I'm working on a round-up of grit recipes for The Huffington Post Taste and I came across your recipe. I'd love to include it in my piece. Contact m if you're interested. Thanks!
Julie Thomson - I'd love for you to include this in your recipe round-up.
I accidentally combined the milk and cornstarch with the rest of the ingredients. Hope it still turns out ok.... :?
This was great but the ranch was way too much. I'll leave it out next time.
This dish was the hit of Thanksgiving! The cheddar ranch grits were amazing! And the roast was a hit with everyone, even folks who don't care for grits!
I did have to use a little more liquid... the grits were a bit too thick. I don't like runny grits, but I do like them just firm enough to eat with a fork. An extra cup of broth about three minutes into the cooking did the trick.
Wonderful recipe, I can't wait to make it again!
Just made this for dinner and substituted venison for the beef. I also used 1tbl sriracha instead of traditional hot sauce. I also did not like the thick grits. Package directions calls for 1/4 cup grits to 1 cup of liquid. Otherwise it was wonderful!
I made this on Sunday! DELICIOUS!
Leftovers for later (yum).
We're having a party at Tumbleweed Contessa - What'd You Do This Weekend? This would be a great hit.
Hope you can bring it over.

Have a wonderful week,

Made this today and it was incredible. I used fresh garlic cloves instead of the garlic salt because that's what I had. I also used Dr pepper instead of the coke and sriracha for the hot sauce . Man oh man was it incredible!! Will make again in the near future!! Being from Texas I'm picky about my meat and BBQ and this dish did the trick!! The entire family enjoyed it as well. Thanks for posting this.
I made this last night and it was delicious. My son ate it but didn't really love the "gravy". I think because it was not the traditional beefy gravy. It was one of a few recipes I have found on Pinterest that actually came out just like the picture!! Thanks, will make it again.
Hi Steph,
I just went to the store to pick up the stuff to make this tomorrow! Hubs loves pot roast but I don't usually make it in the warmer months. With this one being "bbq" it is going to make a great meal that I'm sure he'll love.
