Mama always made the most delectable chuck roast. She would put it on the stove early in the day and let it simmer on low till supper.
Mama’s Chuck Roast
1 chuck roast
salt
Pepper
water
Heat alittle bacon grease in a heavy skillet (mama always used cast iron). Sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides of the roast. Brown the roast on all sides. Add enough water to come up about halfway on the roast. Simmer several hours adding warm water as needed to keep the roast surrounded by water. About 6Â hours is all you need to cook this roast. It will be able to be pulled apart with a fork.
Leftovers make great BBq’d Beef.
See yall soon.
Tim’s brother Billy was suppose to come to dinner. So I decided to make London Broil. But the A/C died yesterday morning. So using the oven was out of the question. So I decided to create a Crock Pot recipe. It was hot as the devil in the house yesterday. No matter how many fans I had going nothing helped. I decided about 10 am that cooking was out of the question. So experimenting began.
Billy called about 4:30 pm and said he couldn’t make it for dinner. I was alittle ticked but figured it was better for him not to come just incase the London Broil was awful and as hot as it was in the house there was no need for him to suffer in the heat along with Tim and I.
I was really surprised that dinner turned out great. So I decided to share the recipes with ya’ll. Hope you enjoy it.
