Pot roast, the ultimate comfort food. I grew up on pot roast that quite honestly I thought was good, until Emeril Lagasse showed me the proper way and OH BOY - what a difference! There is nothing better than this comfort food on a cold winters night with the family. It is a great left over that can easily make a sandwich, like your dad does.
