Economical Meals
Through the years mom and grandma adapted and used whatever meat we could get so no problem using chuck roast, or a lesser cut of stew meats it’s fine.
We all learned quickly how to stretch a budget by improvising with whatever we had to feed the family.
Preparing meals from scratch and making them taste gourmet is an art and this recipe surely shouts it, Tuscan cooks are just amazing on flavors.
Again feel free to add whatever you like to your Dutch oven, this roast will be fork-tender with lots of flavor all in one pan meal.
