When it comes to making things ahead on a busy schedule, you really cannot beat a pot roast. This can also be done in the oven, I generally use a dutch oven throughout the process when using the oven method. This is hands down one of my favorite recipes to make for fall and it is so easy. You can cook it on high heat in around 5-6 hours or low and slow in around 8-10. You can put everything together in about 20 minutes and schedule it for whenever you want it to be ready. This is a simple recipe that my family loves, and it is easy to add or take away whatever you like!
