Ingredients

  • Chuck Roast: 3–4 lbs – Marbled and ideal for slow cooking
  • Onion: 1 large, sliced – Adds depth to the roast
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, smashed – Infuses roast with savory aroma
  • Beef Broth: 2 cups – Rich braising liquid
  • Worcestershire Sauce: 1 tbsp – Umami enhancer
  • Salt & Pepper: To taste – Essential seasoning

  • Butter: ½ cup (mashed potatoes) + 2 tbsp (creamed corn)
  • Whole Milk or Cream: ¾ cup (potatoes) + ½ cup (corn)
  • Corn Kernels: 3 cups – Sweet and creamy veggie side
  • Flour: 3 tbsp – Thickens the gravy
  • Drippings or Butter: 3 tbsp – Flavor base for gravy
  • All-Purpose Flour: 4 cups – Structure for bread/rolls
  • Warm Water or Milk: 1½ cups – Activates yeast and hydrates dough
  • Yeast: 2¼ tsp – Leavens the bread
  • Sugar: 2 tbsp – Feeds the yeast
  • Salt: 1 tsp – Seasoning for dough

Instructions

  • Warm plates before serving to keep food hot
  • Rising dough twice makes fluffier bread
