Zesty Pot Roast is delicious, tender, and perfect for a weeknight or special night. Mashed potatoes and a salad round it out nicely. Now on to the Beef-Orzo soup you can make with the leftovers....Wow! It's worth making on its own! The orzo is a wonderful addition, and the recipe makes plenty. Getting two meals from one recipe is a big help since both are so good!

Cool, stormy evening here in North Georgia so I thought---"Roast would be perfect tonight." And boy was it ever! The beef was tender, fall-apart and juicy. The sauce--there are no words. The flavor was so good! Served with plain mashed potatoes. Now, with the leftovers, I'm making the Beef-Orzo Soup as suggested. Cant possibly waste the sauce!! Definitely will make again and again!! (And the whole house smelled great, too!)
