Craving Comfort Food

Now that fall is here, I’m definitely craving all things comfort food. How about you?

There’s something about the cooler temperatures and the shorter days that make me want hearty, stick to your ribs food. This beer braised pot roast most definitely fits into that category.

Beer Braised Pot Roast is Easy to Make

It also falls into the category of easy to make. The prep work is fairly minimal, which I love. There are just a few things you need to chop and then sauté a little bit of bacon, sear the roast and sauté the onion and garlic.

While that’s going on, you mix a few things together to make the braising liquid. Once that’s finished, it all goes into the oven for a few hours, which is where all the delicious magic happens.

Serve with Egg Noodles or Mashed Potatoes

Once this beer braised pot roast has spent its time in the oven, it comes out so tender and juicy. The bacon gives it a little bit of a smoky flavor and the beer and apple cider vinegar give it a slightly tangy flavor. It’s delicious with either egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

It’s Great as a Leftover

I even used some of the leftovers and made flatbreads for lunch. I just shredded the meat, spread it out on the flatbread, topped it with cheese and baked it until it was hot and bubbly. SO GOOD!
