How to make Creamy Mushroom Beef Chuck Roast

Wipe out the slow cooker and spray lightly.

Thinly slice the onion and lay it in the bottom of the slow cooker as a bed.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the chuck roast in the skillet and cook all sides until brown. 

 Put the chuck roast into the cooker.

Combine the soups, bullion and broth until smooth, then pour this over the chuck roast.

Cover and let cook on LOW for for 6 hours.

Add the mushrooms to the cooker at the 6 hour mark. Recover and cook for an additional 1-2 hours until roast is pull-apart tender.

Roasted English Potatoes

Ingredients

6 Medium Starchy Potatoes (Yukon Gold)

3 Tbs butter flavored Crisco shortening stick

½ tsp Salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Prepare the pans, lined with foil and sprayed lightly.

Add the shortening to one pan and place in a 400 degree oven to melt and heat.

Wash, peel and cut the potatoes. Each should be about ¾ to 1 inch in size. Place in a large microwave safe bowl, loosely cover with plastic wrap. Cook on high about 6 mins. until the outside of the potatoes become soft.

Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave to dry while the oven preheats. They should be well drained.

Shake the colander to rough up all edges of the potatoes. This is an important step of the process, shake well.

Carefully add the potatoes to the baking dish with the 400 degree grease. Pour them away from you as it can really splash and burn! Season with salt. Use a spoon to coat everything well.

Roast the potatoes in a 400F oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Note after about 35 mins turn the pan and shake to toss the potatoes around.

This should produce a hard crusted potato that is soft and fluffy on the inside.

Slide in the green beans on the other pan to roast along side.

Remove and sprinkle with kosher salt.

Carefully transfer the beef to a platter. Dip out the gravy from the cooker into a serving bowl to be spooned over.

Serve with potatoes and green in separate bowls.
