I made this great tasting Chuck Roast after my husband & I went shopping for groceries. My husband never says no when Beef is on the menu. I was content having Corn Bread Cups with Collard Greens & Tomatoes Onions & Peppers in a Vinaigrette Dressing. Of course with the Roast you must do Potatoes of some sort & for us it was Mashed. The Roast was on sale @$2.99 lb. which is great considering the price of beef these days. I cooked it for 4 hours @300 degrees, because it weighed 6 pounds. Added Irish Beer to get the caramel color, THEN ADDED PRUNES TO SWEETEN THE BEER & lots of veggies.
