Marsala Pot Roast with Potatoes and Vegetables
This Marsala pot roast dinner is an entire comfort food meal made in a roaster pan.
Pot roast with browned potatoes and vegetables that’s cooked in a roaster pan with Marsala wine tastes divine.
And the house smells so good when this is cooking.
Just like comfort food.
About this Recipe
One-pot meals are so convenient.
Just add the ingredients in a roaster pan, cook in the oven, enjoy the good smells while it’s cooking, and in no time…it’s time to eat.
Often times pot roast recipes say to add the vegetables in the last hour of cooking.
Since I can’t be trusted with remembering to add the vegetables at a certain time, I add them all in at the beginning.
But if you prefer, the vegetables can be added to the pan after the roast has been cooking for about an hour and a half.
About Serving
This pot roast one-pot meal can be served on a platter or right out of the roaster pan and onto a serving plate.
Just add butter to the potatoes and vegetables and it’s time to dig in.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Beef chuck pot roast, Marsala wine, olive oil, onion, garlic, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, carrots, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes…
…and fresh oregano (dried oregano can be used instead if preferred)

My roast is in the oven cooking and I’ll let you know how it comes out. Though I salt and peppered before I seared the meat, I haven’t added the garlic and oregano yet as I’ll add them at the halfway point.
Nancy, you need to inform your readers that recipes requiring Marsala wine need imported ITALIAN Marsala or the dish won’t work. I tried making chicken marsala about 3 or 4 times and could never figure out why it didn’t have the rich, deep Marsala flavor one finds in a restaurant. I was going to give it one more shot when I found a video wherein the chef stated only imported Marsala wine would give you the flavor found in restaurant marsala dishes. Sure enough, I went to the liquor store, purchased the imported Italian Marsala and have been content with making Marsala dishes ever since. As the chef demonstrated, just compare the California vs. the Italian Marsala and you’ll see the Italian is much deeper in color and therefore flavor.
Kind regards, Cynthia
Hi Cynthia, thank you for your comment and very helpful information about what kind of Marsala wine to use. I’m looking forward to making this again with an Italian Marsala. Thank you again.
YUM!!! I love chicken marsala, but I never thought to make a beef version! Great idea!
Oh…and I ‘Pinned’ this to my ‘Recipes I want to try’ board! =)
Oh good! After you make it let me know what you think. Have a nice rest of the weekend!
Hi Lillian, thank you!
Hi Nancy! I’m back to say how much I just LOVED this recipe! Perfect in every way! The only slight changes I made was to omit the red pepper flakes and only use 1/2 cup of water. Plus I doubled the salt but cut the pepper in half. My whole family loved this also! I’ll be making it often! My blog post will be published tomorrow morning with a link back to this page! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! =D
Hi Lillian, I’m so glad you and your family liked it! And your changes sound delicious. Thank you for letting me know and for the link back. Have a nice weekend!
Okay I am on my way over. You saved me some right. Right?
Hi Kim, of course!
