When the temperatures drop, there’s nothing better than gathering around good food, good conversation, and a recipe that fills the house with incredible aromas. And that’s exactly what happened when Dawn and Misty teamed up once again for their latest cooking video.
This time, they dove into a comforting winter classic straight from the December issue of Better Homes and Gardens—Pot Roast au Poivre with Charred Onions, paired with crispy, golden Parmesan smashed potatoes. It’s the kind of meal that feels equal parts elevated and approachable, perfect for a cozy night at home or a weekend dinner with family.
A Recipe That Feels Like Home
Pot roast is one of those dishes that instantly brings a sense of comfort, and this version adds a flavorful twist with cracked peppercorns and deeply caramelized onions. The Parmesan smashed potatoes bring just the right amount of crunch and richness to the plate, making this a meal that’s hearty without being heavy.
As always, the kitchen conversation is just as good as the food. Dawn and Misty walk through the recipe step-by-step, sharing tips, laughs, and a few “aha” moments along the way.
One helpful tip Dawn and Misty share along the way: the charred onions are completely optional. If you love onions, leave them in and enjoy the added depth of flavor. If not, you can still use them to enhance the dish and simply strain them out at the end—exactly how Misty and Dawn prefer it.*
Watch Until the End—You’ll Learn Something New
One of the highlights of this video comes near the end, when Dawn explains what “sweating” means in cooking. (Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with the gym.) It’s a simple technique that makes a big difference—and one you’ll likely start using in your own kitchen.
And yes… this recipe smells so good, you may find yourself wishing “smell-o-vision” was a real thing.
