  • 1 X 2kg Chuck Roast or any other pice of cheap Beef
  • Oil or butter for browning Roast
  • 1 tablespoon dried Bacon pieces eg, "Hormel" brand or similar

Instructions
 

  • Season roast with salt and cracked pepper and quickly seal/brown roast in tablespoon of oil or butter in a warm to hot frypan.
  • Remove roast and pour off oil/butter but leave any bits of pepper or meat.
  • Do not wash frypan!
  • Return Pan to heat. Mix 1 heaped tablespoon of dried Bacon bits and packet of soup with 1 cup water and heat in frypan, stirring quickly. Soup mixture will go VERY "gluggy" .
  • Place 2 spoons of soup mixture in bottom of slow cooker, place roast on to this then scrape remainder of soup mixture over roast, lid on and "walk away" !
  • Thicken sauce (if needed) just before serving with Arrowroot or Cornflour mixed with water to paste consistency and stir through roast sauce.

  • NB if thickening sauce, remove roast while you are doing this.
