Well, it cooked all day, and this should be a very delicious, definitely good eats, dinner. My version of what I call a Mississippi Pot Roast with a hefty 3 pound plus piece of beef chuck roast, carrots and potatoes. I thought about taking a picture of the finished plate. But I was like, you can definitely get the gist of this from the pre-serve picture, but since I left a teaser earlier, I thought it would be wrong of me not to post the finished product. It was expensive as hell, with the chunk of meat costing around $23. But absolutely worth every penny, and as I always say, you save on the things you need so you can afford the things you want. I wanted a Mississippi Pot Roast. And here it is. If you wanted to know, and I did not include this in the picture, I also made a rue and took the juice and made it into a gravy. Yum, yum.

It looks good and I hope you enjoy it... I set the pork loin down in the fridge to thaw. Pretty wants it and I want some, too.

I've been getting some great deals on the Smithfield and Hatfield marinated ones, and they have some on sale again at Schnuck's this week. I really like those. I could make my own marinated pork loins cheaper, but... Eh? lol

@porwest Yeah, you can get the whole set for like nineteen bucks, or you could the last time I got them.

@porwest The gravy can always be saved for leftovers with mashed potatoes or over rice!

Oh man, it didn't need the gravy, but why waste the trimmings, right? It was delicious.
