*Recipe Alert: Mama's Pot Roast!



I make many different Pot Roasts, but this one is truly the best one on the planet!  The flavors are absolutely to die for! When I make this roast for get togethers,  I use an Aluminum Roasting Pan, since the roast is so good, this guarantees that I have absolutely nothing to bring back home with me!!!  Try this recipe and I guarantee you will be hooked!


3 to 4 lb. boneless beef chuck pot roast

Water
Red Wine ( 2-3 times around the pan)
1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
2 Tbsp. Flour
Cream of Mushroom Soup


In a heavy saucepan brown the beef chuck roast well.  Use the Red Wine to scrape up the drippings. Add 2 cups of water and the Lipton onion soup mix. Simmer, covered 3 hours or until beef chuck roast is tender, turning occasionally. Blend the flour with 1/4 cup water and then stir into the gravy. For more gravy, I also use a can of cream of mushroom soup (you can make your own, but the end result is always the same).  Cook, stirring until the gravy is thickened. Makes 6 to 8 servings.


When I make this recipe using the crockpot, I toss my veggies in with the meat after browning.  If I prepare this roast using the stove, I add the potatoes, carrots, celery and onion half way through the cooking process to ensure that they don't overcook.  This makes the entire meal look as if they came out of a magazine!
