1. Slow-Cooked Coffee Pot Roast

This recipe calls for one cup of brewed coffee to be combined with soy sauce and poured directly over the beef at the beginning of cooking time.

One comment left by a user suggested adding vegetables in with the pot roast, like carrots and baby potatoes. (Though you can add whatever veggies you’d like!)
