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!)
