It was the best chuck roast I've ever had. My husband loved it and my children, who normally would not eat anything like a roast, liked it. White vinegar is listed as an ingredient, however, there is no mention of it in the directions. I stirred it in with the soup mix, sherry, and coffee. I assume that was correct because it sure was good!

This came out great. I used apple and cranberry juice with a splash of orange juice in place of the sweet sherry. Doubled the mushrooms and cooked on crock pot high for 2 or 2 1/2 hours and then switched to low for another two. Strained the gravy though a separator and then added just a tad of cornstarch and flour mixed with cold water and it made a GREAT gravy. My roast was about three pounds but I cut off probably 3/4 of a pound of fat. Will make this again!

I've made this several times now, and it is a hit with everyone. Most recently, I substituted Blackberry wine and canned mushroom pieces/stems instead of sherry/fresh mushrooms as called for in the recipe. I choose to cook it in the crockpot and it works great. This makes one of the best gravies that I have ever tasted. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Virginia!
