3 Tips for Great Pot Roasts

Love the smell of a pot roast in the oven? I know most do, and pot roasts make a great meal for the entire family.

The next time you make a roast, here are a few quick tips to make sure you get the most out of your time, and make a delicious roast.

1. Use the Oven
   I know many absolutely love their crockpots, and use it for lots of different dishes. It's a wonderful idea for slow cooked meals that don't require a lot of time from you. However, to get the most meals out of your roast I recommend using a large roaster in the oven. This way you'll have room for more vegetables and can cook additional items along side (like bread).
2. Allow Time
   For the best roast, you'll want to cook it slow. Allow at least 4-5 hours to cook your roast, checking it often. While a roast requires little attention, you will still need to check on it often.
3. Make Too Much
   Don't just plan for that night's meal - make as much as you can! Roasts, potatoes, and other veggies make wonderful leftovers. You'll save time and energy this was as well, since you can get several meals out of just cooking once. Pick the largest roast you can find at the store to make sure you'll have plenty of meals.

A simple pot roast is one of the best home cooked meals out there. The next time you have time, make a roast that's not only healthy, but one the whole family will love!
