Here’s a very basic pot roast recipe to try. No crazy ingredients, no difficult techniques, just yummy comfort food! If you want to change it up, trade one cup of the beef stock for a cup of red wine. Add celery or use new potatoes. My favorite part about fixing pot roast is having a roast sandwich with mayo on white bread the next day!
