POT ROAST RECIPE
Pot roast is Sunday dinner at its best. Throw it in a crockpot or Instant Pot and walk away.
My version has evolved over the years. It used to be a chuck roast, cream of mushroom soup, some veggies, and you’re done. Now, I use a few spices but believe me it’s worth it.
WHAT KIND OF MEAT TO USE
For this recipe, chuck roast is the cut of meat you want to use. You can use rump roast but it’s not as tender.
FRESH VS DRIED HERBS
Fresh herbs are best but if you can’t get fresh herbs you can use dried in a pinch.
WHAT KIND OF POTATOES DO YOU USE?
I like to use Yukon gold potatoes because you don’t have to peel them. They’re buttery in texture and yummy!
