Grandma’s Pot Roast was Awesome!

When I was growing up, my favorite meal at my Grandma’s house was her pot roast. I’m not sure what her secret was, but it was always cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. I always looked forward to dinner at her house when that was on the menu.

Her gravy was the best and it was all served with a pile of mashed potatoes. Comfort food heaven! But, pot roast takes time to slow cook and who has that kind of time during the week?

Enter the Instant Pot. It gives you that same tender meat and slow cooked flavor in a fraction of the time. It makes pot roast doable on any night of the week because it’s ready in under an hour and requires minimal prep work.

This Instant Pot braised pot roast is a delicious Italian twist on traditional pot roast. Tomatoes and red wine along with a few other ingredients give this pot roast its amazing Italian flavor. It’s every bit as comforting as the traditional and tastes great served with a side of pasta.
