pot roast with cheese recipe

Pot roast with cheese sounds like a delightful comfort food! Here’s a simple recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 2-3 pounds chuck roast
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
• Optional: additional seasoning like thyme, rosemary, or paprika

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
3. In a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until it’s browned. This helps seal in the juices and adds flavor.
4. Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Deglaze the pot by pouring in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. This adds flavor to the sauce.
6. Return the roast to the pot. If desired, sprinkle additional seasoning over the roast, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
7. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Allow the roast to cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until it’s tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
8. Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the roast.
9. Turn on the broiler in your oven and place the pot back inside. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Let the roast rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy your delicious pot roast with melted cheese! You can serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
