Pot Roast is a family favorite meal that many enjoy serving up for dinner within their home.
If you and your family don’t finish your entire pot roast dish and find yourselves with leftovers, don’t let it go to waste. Those extra servings can easily be reheated and served later for a delicious and filling lunch or dinner. Some even say it tastes better the next day!
The best way to reheat pot roast is in the oven. Slice the meat into smaller sections and place them in a baking dish. To keep the pot roast from becoming dry, poor leftover juices from the pan onto the meat. Add beef broth if needed to cover the entirety of the slices. Cook the pot roast in a covered dish at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes.
If you do not have a covered baking dish, using aluminum foil to cover the pot roast will suffice.
Cook until the pieces are heated all the way through, which cooking time may vary based on your oven and the amount and size of slices cut from the pot roast.
Try not to over heat as it can cause the food to become dry. Instead, cook only until heated through and no additional time.

In case your pot roast has been frozen, make sure to thaw it out before reheating.
Reheating pot roast in the oven is often preferred because it is quicker than a slow cooker and delivers higher quality results than reheating in the microwave. Warming pot roast up the next day in the oven is easy, relatively quick and reliable in your search for flavor and texture preservation.
Though this method is more time consuming than reheating your pot roast in the oven, it will still deliver delicious and mouthwatering results. If you choose to reheat your pot roast with a slow cooker:
Place your desired amount of pot roast into the slow cooker.
Add in excess juices from the pan, along with some water, beef broth or gravy.
Set the slow cooker to the warm setting.
Slow cook for 2-4 hours, depending on the size of pot roast being reheated.

Microwave Reheating
While reheating pot roast in the oven is preferred, microwaving is also an option if you are in a time crunch. If you are looking to reheat your meal in a rush while still preserving the amazing taste and quality, try these steps:
Put your desired amount of pot roast in a microwave safe dish.
Pour excess juice from the pan onto your pot roast portion and cover with a microwave safe lid. If you do not have one for the dish you are using, substitute with a paper towel to cover.
Make sure your microwave is set on high or reheat.
Heat the pot roast in 30 second intervals until heated all the way through, testing warmth level between each one.
Pot roast is a great meal to enjoy on a cool autumn or winter day. It’s hearty, full of flavor, and the perfect reason to sit with your family around the dinner table and enjoy with one another. This delicious combination of meat and veggies brings some balance to your palate and diet!
While all techniques listed will get the job done, reheating pot roast in the oven seems to be the most efficient method that also preserves the quality of your meal.
The next time you find yourself with some leftover, flavorful pot roast you don’t want to go to waste, save it for a delicious and easy dish to eat later or throughout your week. Preheating pot roast in the oven is simple, quick and serves as a delicious way to enjoy your pot roast days after being made.
