Notes
- Substitutions:
- How to Store: To save leftovers, separate into meal sized portions and then place in an airtight container and store:
- How to Freeze: Freezing before or after cooking are both great options for pot roast. Read the "freezer" instructions in the original post above.

- How to Reheat: This can be reheated in the microwave in 30 second increments, or cover with tin foil and place into the oven to reheat.
- Chuck roast – You can substitute a round roast which is a little bit more lean, but less tender, or a beef brisket which is still tender but holds together better if you want to slice it.
- Sliced pepperoncini peppers – I prefer to use sliced pepperoncini peppers, but whole can also be used.
- Ranch mix– I used Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix, but you can also use homemade ranch mix.
- in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
- in the freezer up to a month
