Frequently Asked Questions
Because the meat cooks tender, you can easily use a budget friendly cut of meat. We used chuck roast but you can also use brisket or prime rib roast.
Cooking time will vary depending on the size of roast that you are cooking. But our roast was finished cooking tender in about 60 minutes.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The leftovers will last about 4-5 days and we do recommend storing the meat and hoagies separate to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
Store the shredded meat and juices in a freezer safe container. The leftovers will last about 4 months. When ready to serve, thaw in the fridge overnight to enjoy again.
