Notes

I used honey mustard because that's what we had. With about an hour left, I tried this and couldn't taste the curry as much as I wanted to, so I put about 2 to 3 tbsp of chili with garlic sauce and about 2 tsp of green curry paste. It came out delicious with a hint of spice but so yummy and such a different type of roast. I thought later this would have been great chunked up with ramen noodles and green onion. Yummy!

I was pleasantly surprised with how this turned out. Instead of roast, I used stew meat. Otherwise I followed the recipe almost exactly, adding a just touch more curry and salt. After nearly 10 hours on low, the meat was so tender that it entirely fell apart when I stirred it before serving. Our meal looked like prison food, but the flavor was amazing! I loved the seasoning combo in this recipe and will definitely use it again, with either a roast or stew meat! Yum.

We really enjoyed this very different roast flavor, and the gravy with the mustard/curry flavor combo was amazing. I used tiny, new potatoes, and followed the recipe exactly. I will do this again!! It almost rivaled our Crock Pot Mississippi Roast. (Do I dare say that?)

We all enjoyed this roast, and liked the interesting twist on traditional pot roast. The curry added a nice layer of complexity, and wasn't at all spicy for the kids. My husband would have liked a stronger curry flavor, so if you are like him, you may want to add an extra tablespoon or two of the curry powder.
