This dish can be made up to an hour in advance and kept warm over low heat. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Use any large pot or Dutch oven suitable for oven use. Vegetables need not be submerged as they will steam and cook within the pot. Adding the vegetables later preserves their texture, transforming this into a Yankee pot roast.
