  • Reviews

  • “I’ve made this with water instead of wine and potatoes and carrots;very tasty and sto fast to prepare.”

  • “SUDDENLY discovered DH had NOT put latest meat purchases in the freezer – and was desperate to get something going at 11 AM !!Had this (a 3 pound chuck) in the crockpot, with wine, soups,a can of mushroom pieces, snd some Italian seasoning, by 11:15 !! Left it on HIGH until 5:30, and pleasantly surprised at flavor and tenderness.Will refrigerate ALL of the leftovers, skim off the fat (which I did NOT have time to trim) and will thicken and add some other veggies to the gravy.Thanks, Jim !”

  • “We made this twice in a week because my husband liked it so much!delicious and easy to make.This made a lot of delicious gravy too – we thickened it once and left it “au jus style” the second time and both ways it was fine. – we served it with yorkshire pudding and veg and salad and everyone loved it (four children under 8 here!)”

  • “This recipe is so delicious.Inever thought my daughter wouldeat anything cooked with red wine, butshe LOVED this.A great meal and a definite keeper.”

  • “This is a quick and easy recipe that you can make with things you have in your cupboards. It makes a nice gravy to serve over mashed potatoes.”

  • “Taste Great!!Sooooo easy to prepare.This is one of my keepers.”

  • “Delicious roast and gravy. I used merlot. Served the mushroom gravy over rice. Dang fine meal. Thanks.”

  • “This is super easy and flavorful!I added potatoes, carrots and onions.Nice tender meat, great.Donna”

  • “Very good.The beef was so tender and flavorful.I did not have mushroom soup on hand, so I found a substitute and used that instead.I did end up having to add some salt because the end result tasted unsalted, but that was probably due to my substitution. Thank you.”

  • “This was oh so yummy.I used port instead of the red wine.I also put sliced carrots and potatoes on the bottom with the mushrooms added the meet and poured the rest on top.Left overs were great the next day cut up in the juices with the veggies for a delish beef stew.”

  • “This made the most fantastic gravy ever! The roast was amazing. I did cut pockets in the meat and inserted garlic slices. Also used dry onion soup mix and only had a little dry red wine so put half dry white. I fixed it in a crock pot for a little over 8 hours and added potatoes at about 6 hours. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars…a winner!”

  • “This was the best pot roast in a crock pot recipe I have ever tasted. Something about the mushrooms and wine sauce that made it so delicious. I used cream of mushroom and garlic soup instead of regular because that is all I had. Thank you for the recipe it was devine and I am even going to make it for my family for Christmas Dinner. Also we served it on top of egg noodles….yum! :o)”

  • “Pretty good eating!What do you do with the rest of the bottle of dry red wine? Hmmmmmmmm!”

  • “I didn’t have french onion soup – so I mixed beef broth with onion soup mix.FAB.It was so tender and had a great flavor.Keeper.”

  • “This was really easy!I added some veggies as well, but if you decide to do the same I wouldn’t add until about 1/2 way through as they got too mushy (my fault).This one’s a keeper for sure!”

  • “This is the only way I have every cooked pot roast (minus the wine).I have tried other ways, but always come back to this one.Delicious.”

  • “Very tasty, made it using wine the 1st time and beef broth the 2nd. Great Sunday Dinner!!”

  • “I love this recipe. It’s so easy to prepare, economical (less than $20) and yummy! i found this recipe last year, and have made it at least 6 times (especially for family dinners or parties). usually i add baby carrots, and just rub the beef chuck with some salt and/or garlic powder. The wine makes a difference 🙂 it adds a twist to the recipe.”
