There is nothing better on a cold day than comfort food. Yes, it gets cold here in Florida. We had days where the high was in the 30′s… I know that to some people that’s nothing, but really, it’s all relative. Not to mention that we don’t have the cold weather gear that people up north have. My area did get sleet and flurries, which I did wake my children up for at 3am! My Florida babies kept getting cold and required coming inside for warm snacks.
But yeah, nothing warms the body and soul like some good comfort food. It’s also a plus if you have the oven on for awhile!
Delicious Pot Roast
This pot roast is just SO good. It also makes for some great sandwiches the next day!
You’ll need~
Pot Roast (no idea now what size it was)
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Mushrooms
Beef Stock
Garlic
Basil
Rinse and pat dry your roast. Rub a lot of pepper and salt into it. Sear it brown on all sides in olive oil in a frying pan. Place in a baking dish. Add mushrooms and stock to frying pan. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add a whole bunch of whole garlic cloves. The more the better. I think I added 20 and wanted more, but then again, I am a garlic addict! Simmer for a few minutes more. Pour that over the roast, sprinkle with basil. Bake at 275 degrees for 3 hours, flipping it about 1.5 hours in.
It is so good, especially with a side of garlic mashed potatoes!
