Sounds yummy. If you're like me and sensitive to salt, I suggest that you combine the broth with the worcestershire sauce and onion soup mix very carefully. I find it easy to get overwelmed. I mix my own onion soup mix and have discovered that it is mostly dried onion with beef boullion and the beef boullion is what can get you. I would probably add the worcestershire(for flavor and dried onion and maybe seasoning freely until it tastes good and add dried boullion only if the broth seems weak. I have been fooled by seasoning before and if it is too salty, I cannot eat the dish. Beef is wayyy too expensive to waste!

I've made this twice now... added 2 tbs. of Wylers beef seasoning for richer flavor, omitted the mushroom (I don't like them), substituted garlic powder for 2 tbs of minced garlic (from a jar)... added the garlic and onion to the pan when browning the meat and cut the oil in 1/2. There's only 2 of us so I only used a 3 lb chuck roast too. this is now the ONLY way I'll make crock pot chuck roast & veggies... Added bonus.... After having a bowl at lunch the next day, still had about 2 cups of beef 1 large potatoe and 1 cup of gravy left, plus the carrots, onions celery... so tonight, 3 days later, I made some vegetabe soup... added 1 1/2 cups of beef broth, 1 cup of spicy V8, 1 stalk of celery, 1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes, 3 tbs of fresh onion, 1 small potato, and 1/2 cup of frozen mixed veggies (peas and carrots).... boiled everything for about 10 min, then simmered for 10... it was AWESOME and didn't need any extra seasoning...

Love this recipe! I have actually made this several times, and keep forgetting to review! This is a great dish to dump in the crock pot before work and eat at the end of a long day! If you should have any leftovers try recipe #151384! Great way to use them up! Thanks Kitten for another winner!!!

This is such a simple recipe to make. The meat was so moist and tender. I did all the prep work the night before, I let the meat sit in the broth mixture, flipped it in the morning then add the veggies and it cook for about 11 hours. I made this as directed but used Campbells double strengh beef broth and 1/4 cup red wine. I did cut the meat back to 2 1/2 lbs and realized I need a bigger crockpot because I couldn't fit all the veggies in and some where a little crunchy. DH actually like the crunchy veggies but ask for the meat to be seasoned a little bit more. I did pass this recipe along to my Mom and will be a regular in our house. Thanks for such a simple and delicious recipe. Made for: In Memory of John and Support for Kittencal Cookathon December 2008.

Another score by kittencal! Quick, easy, simple, and totally delicious. I made some gravy out of the leftover liquid and it turned out great also. Thanks for the recipe.
