Grandma's Secret Tip

Chop leftover pot roast, mix it with hash-brown potatoes and top with crumbled bacon. Serve with scrambled eggs for a brunch treat.

Serving Suggestion

Serving Suggestion

Serve the roast and vegetables with lots of warm, buttered French bread. For dessert, enjoy a strawberry-rhubarb cobbler.
