One thing I stand by in the kitchen is making my own homemade seasonings . No weird fillers or ingredients you can’t pronounce. This easy pot roast seasoning was developed out of a need for a great seasoning that we could grab and slather on a big chuck roast!
I use this homemade roast seasoning in FFF’s Classic Pot Roast recipe and Instant Pot Pot Roast recipe and they’ve both got 5-star ratings!
