Total Time: 3 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• 3 lbs chuck roast
• 1 sweet onion, quartered
• 1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced (i used canned)
• 1 tablespoon oil
• salt & pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup water

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• 2 heat oil on medium high in dutch oven. sear both sides of roast to desired brown.
• 3 sprinkle with salt & pepper on both sides of roast.
• 4 add onions, mushrooms & water. depending on size of the roast and the dutch oven, you'll need about 1/2 cup of water. you want to make sure that the water does not cover the roast. but you do want the water to cover the bottom of the dutch oven.
• 5 place the covered dutch oven in the oven for 2-1/2 hours. check the roast for doneness and put back in if more time is needed. because the dutch oven is covered, anticipate a shorter cook time than if the roast is uncovered.
