Traditionally, this recipe is made with mashed potatoes and ground beef, but we like our Sunday Pot Roast. We almost always make this meal with the leftovers from that meal and will often make a much larger pot roast than needed, just to have enough to make this dish the following day. Ingredients: Roast beef – cooked, trimmed of fat, and shredded. Baked potatoes, sliced about 1/2” thick Carrots, cubed about 1/2” Peas and/or Green Beans. If using green beans, cut about 1/2” long. Any other savory leftover from that Pot Roast that you want. Sliced Swiss Cheese Ground Pepper
