ThunderBird Roast

We just finished dinner 15 minutes ago and I had to get on the computer right away to let you know this was absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! We used about 2.5 pounds of chuck, cut into chunks. We browned the meat first, before putting everything in the crockpot, which we then turned on high for 3 hours. I had my doubts about something so simple tasting special, but it sure does! I served this on mashed potatoes made with a little sour cream. NO leftovers, except sauce, which we are keeping to make a little stew with carrots and potatoes tomorrow. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recipe. It's going to be made many, many more times in our home.

Very good and easy to do. Added garlic, onion, and mushrooms and had a hearty meal! Thanks for the great recipe.

We used a 3.5 pound 7 bone chuck, and it was really good. I think next time I will add a few mushrooms (or use a mushroom brown gravy) and a little italian seasoning, but the neighbors appreciated the smell just the way it was :)

Do I love easy & delicious recipes, or what?! For using only four ingredients, this was excellent. I decided to make this last minute so I pulled a (yup) frozen roast out (ok - it was a *small* roast!) and tossed it in the crockpot first, set it on high to let the meat thaw. Then I added the other ingredients, set pot to low, and let cook for 8 hours. Served with mashed potatoes and string beans - yum! Already have given the recipe out - it's a keeper!

Great recipe - we loved it. I used apple cider instead of apple juice. Yummm.

Wow--I was shocked at how tasty this was. I was worried that my husband would be able to detect the apple juice taste & veto this dish, but he loved it. The picky kids too. My only complaint is that a 2-lb roast wasn't enough! This is definitely my new standard for slow cooker beef roast!

This was a good recipe, but I didn't think it tasted all that much different from any other roast recipe.

Very moist, makes a lot of gravy and smells as good as it tastes. Thanks for sharing.

I made this recipe to have for dinner with my son. We both agreed it was too sweet for us. Next time I will leave out the Apple Juice. Just not for us! Thank you for sharing your recipe though. Linda

I made the oven version. So easy and delicious! I added quartered potatoes and baby carrots, and within an hour the smell was wonderful. In 2 1/2 hrs, dinner was ready and it was tender and tasty for a cheap little roast! The gravy was fantastic too. I bought 2 roasts (buy one - get one free sale) so I will be making this again! Thanks for posting a keeper Ang! Made for Harvest Moon Apple Festival.

What an interesting combination of spices. Who would have thought apple juice in a beef roast! This turned out really nice. I did brown the roast first with a bit of a mixed medley pepper and a light sprinkle of sea salt and added onion and celery to the crock pot. Thank you for such a tasty dish - I'm sure we will be having this regularly.

Ang, this recipe certainly deserves more than 5 STARS. I can't believe how good it was. I mixed a bit of cornstarch and water together, and then added it to the liquid/pan juices to make a gravy. The gravy was absolutely superb! I made this with a (4 lb. 4 oz.) ham roast (bone-in) and mixed together, 2 pkgs. of the brown gravy, 2 pkgs. of the dry onion soup mix, and added 3 cups of apple juice. Poured it over the roast, and cooked it in the oven for 3 hrs. & 50 minutes. I had enough gravy and meat leftover, so I cut the meat into small pieces and mixed it in with the gravy, and plan on reheating it for tomorrows dinner (serving it in between hamburger buns). Thank you Ang for posting this recipe. It's a keeper!!
