I found a great deal on Chuck Roasts at Sam’s a couple weeks ago and was so excited about having roast for Sunday dinner! I found a great recipe from Taste of Home with a marinade that flavors the meat, and also makes a wonderful gravy to serve with the meal. Roast + Gravy = a great combination for a Sunday dinner!

Marinated Chuck Roast
Ingredients
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 to 4 pounds)
Directions
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce; add the roast. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Pour the marinade into a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Add roast to the pan. Cover and bake at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Thicken juices for gravy if desired. Yield: 8-10 servings.

That looks delish! Pinned! =)
Yesterday I made BBQ Chicken in the crock pot, mac and cheese, spinach salad and the fancy hamburger bun garlic toasts…with chocolate pie for dessert. My hubs seemed to really enjoy a full meal after several days of bachelor meals. =)
