Chuck roast isn’t an overly expensive cut of beef. So this is a good and economical dinner option.
The meat tenderizer helps break down the roast and gives it the tenderness you want. The lemon juice also helps with this.
Who knew they even sold sloppy Joe mix envelopes?!? I certainly didn’t.
You really get a good flavor from the mix.
The cooking method is interesting. There was little clean up afterward, which is great.
I did cook my roast in the oven. It was cold outside, so firing up the grill wasn’t something I wanted to do.
The roast smells amazing while cooking! You get the lovely beef smell, plus the seasoning mix and onions. It has a great aroma!
And it tastes great! The roast is tender. You don’t even need any gravy or sauce. The onions add a lovely flavor when served overtop.
