Ingredients You’ll Need

(Serves 6–8)

3–4 lbs boneless beef chuck roast (well-marbled = more flavor)

1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (full-fat for best results)

1 (10.5 oz) can beef broth (or 1¼ cups water + 1 bouillon cube)

💡 Sister’s Secret:

Do NOT sear—low-and-slow creates deeper flavor without it

Place fat-side up—it self-bastes as it melts

Pour broth around the roast—not over—to keep the soup layer intact
