Bonnies Rye Croutons For Salad And Soups Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Trim the fat from the chuck roast, and pat it dry. Add salt and pepper to your taste. Heat the oil in a dutch oven over medium high heat and add the roast. (I use cast iron) Get a good sear on both sides of the meat.
• 2. While the meat is searing, combine the following ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl: 2 cans cream of chicken soup, 2 cans of sliced and drained mushrooms. 1 mushroom can of Marsala wine, 1 heaping teaspoon chopped garlic and black cracked pepper. Mix well. Set aside.
• 3. Cooks Tip: I used a liner for easy clean up. It is great for storing the leftovers. You just lift it out and place it in a container. Refrigerate. The next day, you put it back in the slow cooker to reheat it.
• 4. Place the seared meat in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the potatoes. Pour the bowl mixture over the top of the roast. Put on the lid and don't look at it again until dinner time. Cook 2 hours on high, and then 4 to 6 hours on low until it is as tender as you like it. The gravy will turn a lovely golden brown, and there is no need to thicken it.

• 3. MAKE THE SOUP: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large 3 quart sauce pan, and saute the onions with the garlic. Cook over medium heat until onions are very tender. Add the water, broth, chicken granules, country-style dijon mustard, basil leaves, thyme leaves, and black pepper. Simmmer about five minutes.
• 4. Add the soup to the 3 oven-proof bowls. Add a thick slice of Mozzarella cheese to each bowl. Return to the hot oven and bake about 10 minutes until cheese is lightly brown, remove from oven, and add the croutons.
