Notes
- Try using whole carrots so they don't get mushy. Do not use carrot slices; they cook for too long and become mushy.
- Yukon gold or russet potatoes are the best for beef chuck roast as they are hearty enough to cook along with the beef without getting mushy.
- Make sure to sear the beef on all sides. This will ensure a juicy Sunday roast!

Meals for one would be nice. I know this is not about this recipe but did not know where else to write. Caren
Em Beitel says
This works perfectly, Caren! We'll keep that in mind, thank you!
cindy says
Will be giving this a try on Sunday. Just wondering if I could transfer the seared roast and veggies to a crock pot to complete the cooking? It is still hot around here and having the oven on for 5-6 hours is costly. thank you
