Dutch Oven Pot Roast

This recipe for Dutch Oven Pot Roast is a timeless classic. Carrots and onions simmer in the rich broth for hours, while the beef gets so tender that it practically falls apart on its own. How could we say no?

Dutch Oven Pot Roast

I’ve used slow cookers for years. I’ve got crock-pots of every size. They are so incredibly handy for getting dinner (like these pork carnitas) on the table during the week. But, a Dutch oven pot roast is absolutely magnificent.

First of all, everything comes together in the same pot, which cuts down on dishes. But, the real difference is in the level of control you have over the temperature. Because it starts on the stove, you can do things with a Dutch oven that you just can’t do with a slow cooker.

This recipe braises the chuck roast, searing it on the stove before letting it simmer for hours at low heat in the oven. This helps lock in those flavorful juices that we want. So, if you don’t have a Dutch oven yet, what are you waiting for?

Potatoes with Pot Roast

Let’s address the fact that this recipe does not include the potatoes. Why is that? Because personally, I can not stand overcooked potatoes and pretty much every time you cook potatoes along with a roast they run the risk of over cooking if you aren’t watching closely.

If you’d like to cook potatoes with your pot roast, that isn’t a problem. You’ll need to add them to the pot with the roast about an hour and a half to two hours from the end of the cooking time. Or, do what I do and mash some potatoes instead when the roast is nearly done and serve them alongside it. (I LOVE these buttery herb mashed potatoes!)

Dutch Oven Chuck Roast

This recipe calls for a chuck roast. This cut of meat comes from the shoulders of the cow, and is actually quite tough. So, if you didn’t know how to cook a chuck roast in the oven, you might end up with a meal that is very difficult to chew.

But, the magic is in long hours of low heat. Thi

Ingredients for Breakfast Egg Casserole Recipe

  • Butter: Provides fat for sautéing, helps mushrooms brown, and adds flavor richness. Olive oil can also be used.
  • Baby Bella Mushrooms: Add earthy depth and umami, and sautéing removes excess moisture so the casserole isn’t watery. 
  • Ham: Adds a salty, savory protein boost and balances the richness of the eggs and cheese. 
  • Eggs: The base of the casserole, binding everything together while giving it a rich, custardy texture .
  • Skim Milk: Lightens the texture of the eggs, keeps them moist, and prevents the casserole from being rubbery. 
  • Salt and Black Pepper: Enhance and balance flavors so the casserole doesn’t taste flat.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Melts into creamy pockets, adds bold cheesy flavor, and helps bind ingredients together.
  • Dried Oregano: Brings a subtle herby aroma and Mediterranean flavor to complement ham and mushrooms. 
  • Fresh Spinach: Adds freshness, nutrients, and a pop of color; balances the richness with a mild, earthy taste.

How to Make Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven and grease a casserole dish.
  2. Sauté: Heat a skillet pan over medium heat and add the butter or oil, then add the mushrooms and cook without stirring until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Beat: Beat the eggs and milk in a large bowl with a whisk. Season with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. 
  4. Combine: Add in the ham, mushrooms, cheese, oregano and spinach to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. Bake: Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
