Double or Triple Duty Pot Roast

Pot roast is way underrated in my opinion. This recipe takes an relatively affordable chunk of meat that takes almost no time to throw together to end up with a velvety tender dinner that can be savored this meal and for several more later.
Cook Time 8 hours

Recipe Notes

Slightly More Work Option

  1. Sauté onions and salt/pepper with one to two tablespoons of fat (lard, ghee, tallow, or coconut oil) until soft and slightly caramelized.
  2. Add chopped garlic for about 30 seconds more.
  3. Add this to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Add the pot roast on top of the mixture. Add broth/puree.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until tender. Serve the meat with the sauce over the top.
