Italian Pot Roast Tips
What other kinds of meat can you use to make pot roast?
Although there many options to choose from, the
best cut of meat for this recipe is a classic chuck roast. You can also use something from the same cost bracket, such as tri-tip roast, top round roast or bottom round roast. Like choosing the
best beef for stew, when it comes to cooking meats in the slow cooker, cheaper is often better: The more expensive tender cuts can turn out tough and chewy with prolonged cooking.
What do you serve with Italian pot roast?
Serve Italian pot roast scooped over a bed of
polenta, egg noodles, rice or
mashed potatoes—whatever suits your liking!
Can you make Italian pot roast ahead of time?
Yes! Make this Italian pot roast the day before a hectic schedule, and enjoy an easy, hearty meal that just needs reheating. Leftover pot roast should last up to four days when stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
