I grew up with pot roast being beef in gravy. No veggies in the pot.
The beef was browned, cooked with liquid that was thickened to become
gravy. Usually served with mashed potatoes and another veggie.

I don't know when my grandmother started making it that way but it is
what I've know for 7 decades so keep your carrots out of it.

Stew is stew and pot roast is a beef roast, not just a stew with bigger
chuncks of stuff.
