This is my favorite pot roast recipe! I make it twice a month, at least!!!
Me too! If I can get away with it, i will make it 3-4 it’s a month! It’s a staple meal, in our house
Can I use a frozen chuck roast? I’m sure I’ll need to add more time but how much?
I tried this in my new pressure cooker and put it on a hoagie bun and it was delicious! I didn’t have tge pepperoncini so I used banana peppers instead
I’m so glad you like it Scott ^_^
Can potatoes be added at any point during the roast cooking?
Diced potatoes only take about 3-5 minutes in the Instant Pot. You could add them with 5 minutes remaining, but you will have to wait for the pot to come up to pressure a second time so it will take longer. Or you could cook them separately and serve them on the side.
