The slow cooker makes the work of cooking roast beef much easier. Dinner turns out flavorful, tender and delicious with just a few ingredients.
3 lb. boneless beef chuck roast (or top or bottom round roast)
2 cans (10-3/4 oz. each) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/3 c. sherry, red wine or beef broth
1 envelope onion soup mix
fresh thyme and rosemary, if desired
Cut roast in half; place in a 3 quart slow cooker.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; pour over roast.
Cover. Cook on Low for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender.
10 servings.
Tip:
You can add baby carrots and small red or yellow potatoes with the roast beef. For the best texture, allow the roast beef to cook for 2 hours before adding the potatoes and carrots to the slow cooker. You could add everything at the start of cooking, but the carrots and potatoes will be very soft when serving.
