I have a love hate relationship with comfort food. Most of my all time favorite comfort food typically takes a few hours to make! One of those beloved meals is a classic Sunday roast complete with creamy mashed potatoes, veg and hot buttered rolls. All of it smothered in gravy, of course!
For years I have used my crock pot to make the meal because it made
such tender meat. It took 6 hours, though and some days I just wanted
it right away.
I’ve played around with it in the Instant Pot and finally made the PERFECT roast and then entire meal takes 1 hour to make. The best part is it also makes it’s own delicious gravy! While it’s cooking way you can focus on making your sides, get the table set and even make a dessert and your entire meal is taken care of!
It’s super tender, packed with flavor and incredibly easy to put together. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Let me know in the comments below what you thought of it! I love hearing your feedback!
