Description

This comforting pot roast transforms affordable beef chuck into a tender, melt-in-your-mouth meal. The meat is first browned to develop a deep flavor crust, then slowly simmered in a luscious sauce made from condensed cheddar soup, tomato sauce, and sliced mushrooms. Aromatic herbs like oregano and basil infuse the gravy with a savory, home-style warmth. The result is a hearty dish where the beef falls apart easily, soaking up the cheesy, savory juices. Perfect for cold evenings or family gatherings, this recipe brings a classic, satisfying comfort food experience to your table without requiring complex techniques or hard-to-find ingredients.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat cooking fat in a large Dutch oven or heavy pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the meat on all sides until a deep crust forms, then remove meat from pan.
  4. Pour off excess fat, leaving only about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
  5. Add sliced onion to the pan and cook, stirring often, until soft but not browned.
  6. Stir in condensed cheddar soup, tomato sauce, sliced mushrooms, oregano, and basil.
  7. Return the beef roast to the pan, nestling it into the sauce.
  8. Cover the pan and bake in a 325&# 194;°F (163ðC) oven for 3 to 3.5 hours.
  9. Turn the meat once halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
  10. Remove the cooked meat to a platter and keep warm.
  11. Skim excess fat from the surface of the sauce in the pan.
  12. If the sauce is thin, mix 2 tablespoons flour with 1/3 cup cold water to make a slurry.
  13. Slowly stir the flour mixture into the simmering sauce.
  14. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and bubbles, about 3 minutes.
  15. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  16. Slice the beef against the grain and serve with the savory cheese gravy.
