How to Cook a Bread and Butter Beef Roast

Thanks you for sharing

I LOVE chuck roasts. They're my absolute favorite. They're best when cooked low and slow. I usually cover the roast with a simple seasoning mix: salt, pepper and garlic powder. I add one thinly sliced onion and wrap it tightly in foil. I cook it at 325 for 2 hours or until it's tender. I've also cooked it in short rib sauce (tomato sauce, brown sugar, onions, bay leaves, worcestershire sauce) and it's fabulous. The key is low and slow heat and keeping it tightly covered.

My hubby got me a crockpot for Christmas (he's such a romantic fool!). I have had so much fun using it. This cut of beef is perfect for crockpotting.....it seems that no matter how funky the meat would have been as a dry roast it works out so well in the crock pot! The prices for these roasts are often fabulous, too!

For our barbecue we place the roast (whole) in the crockpot with a cut up medium sized onion (we keep the pieces big so we can fish them out towards the end so the kiddos don't freak out about seeing onions....our kids are weird like that). Onions on the bottom of the crockpot, piece of meat on top, 1 16oz can of tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of vinegar and 4 tablespoons of sugar. Cover and put the crockpot on high for one hour and then set it on low for 12-15 hours.

This is now the only cut of meat I buy for crock pot roasting. My supermarket has it Buy 1 get 1 free several times a year.

My friend has the BEST crock pot recipe for this cut of meat:

1 packet of dry italian season, 1 packet of dry ranch, a can of coke( diet works just as well) and the english cut roast. Place the meat in the crock pot, top with the dry ingredients and the can of coke. cook on low for as long as you can...12 hours is best. The last 1/2 hour, shred beef and replace in juices.

This makes incredible cheesesteak sandwiches and just plain old beef sandwiches.

Hope you enjoy this as much as we do.
