Special ingredient: Dry Vermouth

Dry vermouth gives this oven pot roast recipe an enhanced flavor that traditional pot roast just doesn’t have. This fortified dry wine, when combined with the beef and onion soup mix brings out the savory beef flavor that will please the whole family. Because vermouth is fortified with herbs, you get tons of flavor without pulling and chopping fresh herbs.
