Making a pot roast, cooking low and slow for 10 hours. Threw a stick of butter on top bc someone on Reddit said it was good lol. I’ve never tried it this way, has anyone else? I’m curious haha

    Butter is one of the 5 ingredients of Mississippi Pot Roast, which is like the most popular (or one of) recipe here.  It’ll be good. 

  2. Sure, it’s especially good in slow cooker recipes.

    I also have a pot roast going right now! Carrots, potatoes, onion, chunk o’ beef, seasoning and………….a stick of butter.

    No but i use bottom blade so the roast is braised in fat anyway.

    I do when I brown it off. TBH, I would probably butter butter if I could

  6. If you bought a good pot roast it has enough fat on its own.

    i usually find my pot roast is already incredibly fatty lol, but sometimes we’ll add some wagyu tallow for flavor

    Yep. After some trial and error, the “recipe” that everyone in my family likes best is a chuck roast topped with two packets of onion soup mix and a stick of butter. It hits every time.

    Huh, learned something new today! I avoid slow cooking butter for the same reasons I avoid cream and cheese; the solids separate and make it all gross. Is butter different somehow? Is it still good on those 10-12 hr cook times?

    I use an entire stick of butter lol. Plus, carrots, red and orange bell peppers thinly sliced, the juice of mild peppers (from the jar in the fridge), tiny potatoes, an entire onion, a packet of the ranch dressing powder, two packets of brown gravy powder (it really only thickens it), fresh minced garlic, lots of black pepper, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Lol, in case you wondered! 🤣🙌🏼

    Ewwww. No. Completely unnecessary. If you know how to cook well a roast should not need butter. There is PLENTY of fat in a roast. Someone adding MORE butter just tells me you aren’t a good cook and are trying to mask that. No wonder we have an obesity problem.

    Never thought of that, but that’s a great idea. Imma try that. Did that turn out as delicious as it looks? I’m hardly mad that you didn’t share this with me. Next time?
