Recipe Tips

  • Can I use a different cut of beef? Chuck roast is best, but bottom round or brisket can work too.
  • How to make the sauce from scratch: If you can’t find the Campbell’s sauce, use a mix of beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs.
  • Do I need to brown the beef first? Not necessary, but searing the roast adds extra flavor.
  • Can I add potatoes? Yes, baby potatoes or chopped russets work well and can be added with the other vegetables.
  • How to avoid mushy vegetables: Cut the vegetables into large chunks so they hold their shape during long cooking.
