Perfect Pot Roast

This homemade pot roast recipe is one of my favorite comfort food recipes! I love to slow-cook a roast in the oven with onions, carrots, and potatoes until they are melt-in-your-mouth tender. It makes for the perfect Sunday dinner, especially when served with a rich, savory gravy.

Made with staple ingredients, this recipe turns out tender every time!

This Month’s Alternative Recipe:

  • Crock Pot Pork Roast: This is an easy meal with minimal prep and maximum flavor. It’s a comfort food classic, bursting with rich flavors from tender meat, hearty vegetables, and a savory broth.

Everyday Comfort Alternative Recipe:

Try a recipe from my cookbook, Everyday Comfort, for this month’s cooking challenge! If you donโ€™t have one, grab a copy here and cook with us.

  • Moms Best Ever Pork Roast with Gravy (p.185): This is my favorite meal of all time! The pork is so tender and buttery, it melts in your mouth, and the rich brown gravy is so good I could drink it.
