on 0 70 Views

The perfect cold-weather sandwich has arrived. Enter the cider-braised pot roast patty melt…chuck roast slow-cooked to perfection in a hard cider broth, chopped into a hash, and piled high on grilled sourdough bread. It’s crispy, cheesy, and full of fall flavors!

Just in time for your Halloween dinner too…and the best part is you can make the slow-cooked pot roast the night before and just warm it up to make the sandwiches. The pot roast becomes more flavorful overnight sitting in the cider broth. It’s autumn between two slices of bread.

cider braised pOt rOast with caramelized OniOns and sweet pOtatOes

on 0 55 Views

Autumn has arrived and I have been craving everything apple cider this year! I was inspired to create this dish with hard apple cider and give a fall twist after visiting my local orchard…and it was amazing!!

It’s been rainy and cold this week so something warm and hearty was definitely what was needed. After taking a trip for some cider donuts at the orchard I knew I had to make this dish…several times actually lol. The hard cider gives it just a hint of extra flavor and the added sweet potatoes really brought an extra level of autumn to the dish. And bonus, the leftovers get even better as they marinate in the flavors overnight and they make great sandwiches the next day!!! A recipe for a leftover pot roast sandwich is coming soon. 🙂 Stay tuned!!

My tips for success here…try it and try it again, switch up the veggies, and add your favorites. Red pepper would be amazing in it. Any veggies will work so try out different combos to switch up the flavors to your liking.
