Fall is slowly making an appearance in North Carolina and this past Saturday was quite cool and drizzly. As you may have read on my blog recently, this is the time of year when we start craving comfort foods again at my house, and since the weather was making me inclined to stay indoors, I started looking around for a member recipe to prepare and review. Anne Coleman’s (AnniePooh) Chuck Roast Dinner recipe seemed like just the ticket!
In the introduction to her Chuck Roast Dinner recipe, Anne writes that she believes Chuck Roast is one of the finest foods known to man. I enthusiastically second that opinion, and would like to add that it is also one of the finest comfort foods known to man! The addition of sweet, tender carrots and perfectly-seasoned potatoes, makes this a meal fit to chase away even the gloomiest Fall day!
Anne’s recipe is super-easy to prepare for even a novice cook, and her well-written instructions guarantee perfectly delicious results! I took her advice and added a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste to the beef stock for a richer taste, and also added 1/2 of a small onion, sliced. The roast came out fork-tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were an excellent compliment. This incredibly easy meal was a big hit at our Sunday dinner! Give it a try for the next Sunday dinner at your house, you’ll be glad you did! Anne’s recipe can be found here: http://www.halfhourmeals.com/recipe/chuck-roast-dinner
