Pot roast is a classic dish that never goes out of style, and this version with bacon is always a huge hit. Our Yankee pot roast recipe calls for carrots, celery, and pearl onions, but you can swap them out for equal amounts of your favorite vegetables. We've also called for red wine (a common ingredient in modern pot roasts) for richer flavor. If you prefer not to use it, substitute extra beef stock. Now - about that Yankee Pot Roast recipe… Many people have asked us what differentiates a Yankee Pot Roast from just a "pot roast." Basically a pot roast is beef that is braised in liquid - but a Yankee-style pot roast is cooked and served with root vegetables (our recipe includes carrots, potatoes, parsnip and turnip).
