"DELICIOUS mainstay on our menu! It makes the BEST GRAVY!!! We have this for dinner quite frequently....good and easy to prepare! All the veggies go in and cook along with the roast. Rice is always served and the roast and veggies are placed on top. UMMMmm!"

What should the internal temperature be for a 2.61 chuck roast be when finished being cooked?
-
Can I cook this on high for 2 hours and then turn it to low? It's already cooking, but I don't want to be up all night! Tomorrow's dinner! -
Can you not brown the roast first? -
Can you cook this longer on low maybe an extra hour. I will be away most of the day.

I have a 3 1/2 pound chuck roast how long should it cook in crock pot and should I double the other ingredients?

I would recommend this recipe, very very good. I also added a half packet of onion soup mix, 1 small can of stewed tomatoes and about a cup of water. Since I had a late start that morning I put the crockpot on high for 2 hours then turned it on low for 4 hrs. The chuck roast was falling apart and the vegetables were cooked just right. I will certainly make this again since it was a hit with my husband who is a meat and potatoes kinds guy. -
This is a delicious roast! I basically followed it exactly other than using a little more than a 3 pound roast to serve the four of us. I cooked mine on high for the first hour and then low for about 7 more hours. The roast was fall-apart tender and very flavorful. The vegetables were done just right. Thanks for sharing! -
Excellent and easy recipe. I omitted the celery, salt, and used cream of chicken. I also cooked on low for an additional 2 hours. Delicious and will make it again. Thank you for sharing. -
Flavor great...timing not so much! Seared 2lb chuck roast & added to potatoes, carrots, celery, onion & added cr of mushroom soup mix. Clearly needed more cook time...maybe 2 hr on high & 6 hr on low.??? Meat not tender Per recipe guidelines

Made this for dinner tonight for the gals. Only a few minor substitutions due to some allergies: I subbed turnips for onions (and used onion powder for flavor), and couldn't use cream of mushroom soup (no mushrooms or flour allowed), so I used some cream and gluten-free cornstarch. It turned out wonderful, although not as "thick" a gravy I would have liked (probably due to the subs). To the person who claimed it was bland, you must season at every step, as you would in normal cooking. Season the beef before you sautee it, season the veggies (only a little), and then season the "gravy". It turned out great, and I'm looking forward to eating the leftovers (if there are any).
