Yes, I tweked. This is a signature dish in the history of my family. From Grams, to Mom, now me and my family. I put it in a traditional roasting pan, you know the blue or black one, with white speckles. Add water to a little more than half way up the chuck, cover with fresh ground pepper, salt, chopped onions, and garlic of some kind. Time to prep decides, fresh, jar, or powder. Then the key is 4 to 5 bay leaves spread evenly around the roast. I like to cook my chuck at 175°for many hours, 11 to 12. I then add carrots and potatoes evenly around the roast, add salt and pepper to the veggies, remove lid and cook at 350°, until they are soft. Remove the bay leaves. It will be almost impossible to take the roast out of the pan, it will be falling apart. Use two forks to lightly shred the meat. Place potatoes in plate, smash with a fork, generously cover with the juice in pan. This is the key, you shouldn't lose to much juice at the low temperature, but check when adding the veggies. Salt and pepper potatoes, add carrots, then a couple nice tongs worth of chuck on the plate. Serve with prepared horseradish. This can all be done in a crock pot too, it is that easy. Also, if you like Mexican or Tex-Mex, I use the same chucks to make my meat for enchiladas,burritos, chimichangas, etc. Just add more garlic, onion, cover with 2 small cans of mild diced green chilies, and 1 to 2 cans of diced jalapeños. No bay leaves for this one. Same thing, many hours, low temperature, it will melt in your mouth. Enjoy.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
