What comfort food can be more healthy and delicious than Beef Chuck Roast with Vegetables and Herbs? Seconds of this wonderful recipe. That is what!

The roast was delicious! None of the spices were too strong. Not one stood out more significantly than the others.

I like a lot of veggies with any type of roast so I did the grandma trick of using my eye to decide how much to use.

I like to have leftover, if I can, for subsequent meals.

Since my daughter-in-law, son and granddaughter eat little to no meat, we go through a lot of the extra veggies and sides.

As you can see in the picture I added bread and butter to my plate. Even though I am trying hard to limit my carbs, some things take a bit longer to omit. Bread is my downfall!

• 2-3 Pounds boneless beef chuck roast
• 1.5 Pounds bag baby red potatoes, halved

NOTES

These are my changes due to having 2 roasts to cook.Chuck Roast was on sale buy one get one free. Together they totaled 4.5 pounds so I made adjustments to the spices. Time and temp stayed the same.I used 2 beef bouillon cubes and dissolved in 1 cup water since I didn’t have the broth style.I used 1 tsp onion powder on each roast in place of red onion.I used 1 tsp powdered thyme and 1 tsp oregano on each roast.I used 1/2 tsp of course black pepper on each roast.I used 1 cup of water poured over the two roasts.

The entire family ate early. I scheduled the meal to be ready just before my son left for work.

My daughter-in-law had come home from work. She doesn’t eat lunch because of covid and won’t eat in the print shop. And she ate a big helping of the chuck roast!

Miss Jo had just finished school and had come down from her “classroom”. Being as picky as she is, we got the old excuse, “I’m not hungry yet.”

And of course, after smelling the chuck roast cooking, grandpa and I were ravenous.

The aroma had permeated my entire home. It smelled like a meal served on a lazy winter day.

Pure comfort food with the entire family sitting down to eat at the table together. Even Miss Jo.

Even though I served the meal on an early Thursday afternoon, it felt like Sunday.

My only regret was we had finished the Apple Slab Pie the night before.

Miss Jo and I made her GF Brownies later that night. It was hard leaving some for my son to enjoy after work.
