Two Day Pot Roast
This is so simple, melt-in-your-mouth delicous! Being able to de-fat the pot roast before serving the second day is a special bonus. No vegetables except onions are added to the pot roast so I serve with baked or roasted potatoes and steamed brocolli. The crisp green brocolli and crunchy potatoes make a wonderful contrast to the tender beef and gravy.
