Pair this classic beef stew with a loaf of crunchy bread, perfect for sopping up the gravy. Making in a slow-cooker keeps preparation simple and you out of the kitchen.
One pan and 10 minutes of prep, and you're on your way to a mouthwatering roast that will have 'em at the table before it's out of the oven. Zesty dressing boosts the flavor.
Note: if you don't have a gas burner, you can roast the chilis under the broiler element. Just place them as close as possible and cook on high heat, turning them occasionally until completely charred and blistered....
A generous portion of this hearty beef-barley soup is satisfying as a one-dish meal. If chuck roast is on sale, purchase a large one and freeze the rest for later. If not, ask your butcher to cut off only the amount you need.
