Ingredients

1 (3 to 4-pound) boneless chuck roast
1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup thinly sliced onion wedges
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon beef bouillon granules
3/4 cup water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Add the House Seasoning, salt and pepper to a small bowl. Rub seasoning into the roast on both sides. Heat oil in a large skillet and brown the roast, searing it on both sides. Place the meat in a roaster pan. Add onions and garlic to skillet for 1 to 2 minutes to absorb leftover roast juice. Place into roaster pan with meat and bay leaves.

Combine the mushroom soup, wine, Worcestershire sauce and beef bouillon into a bowl. Pour over the roast. Add water.

Cover pan with foil and bake for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until tender.

Remove and discard the bay leaves.

*Cook's Note: If the gravy is not thick enough, remove the meat from the pan and pour the gravy into a saucepan. Bring to a boil and thicken it by adding 2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup cold water, stirring constantly.

House Seasoning:

1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients and store in an air tight container for up to 6 months.

It is so good you want to drink the gravy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

When I read that someone's child drank the gravy, I thought, "Yuck!" Until my dainty little 16 year old girl did the same... thing! It is that good, and makes a good base for soup for the left overs if there are any! After the browning phase, I put everything in the slow cooker, and everyone remarked how good the house smelled when we arrived home hours later.........Read more

Delicious gravy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was delicious, as we followed it exactly. Added some carrots to the final hour of cooking, whipped up some of... Paula's mashed potatoes (with cheese and sour cream), and wow - what a dinner!Read more
