Looking for an easy meal that’s fit for a crowd? Everyone needs that back-pocket trick, and we particularly love Gavin Kaysen’s pot roast. Inspired by his grandmother’s recipe, it's perfect for big groups and holiday entertaining. Packed with tender chunks of beef, mushrooms, carrots, parsnips, rutabaga, and a whole head of garlic, this hearty one-pot meal was a hit at Kaysen’s recent JBF Taste America cooking demo. Feel free to sub in any similar root vegetables you have on hand and make it this weekend.
