For those prepping beef supplies...Northeastern California - Safeway is selling chuck roast to members for 3.99/lb if you buy 6 lbs or more. Savemart is selling chuck roast for $3.49/lb in Maxx Pack (2 or more). Stock up while you can. I just bought 3 chuck roasts (about 10 pounds), vacuum sealed and froze them for later. Eventually, I will prepare each one with this recipe, which the family and friends rave about when I prepare it.

My recipe modifications...
I use Swanson Beef Broth instead of water.
I use 1/8 teaspoon of black peeper, rather than the pepper corns.
I use 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves instead of whole cloves.
I usually double the carrots.
I sometimes leave out the turnips, and if not making mashed potatoes separately, I will add potatoes.
I make gravy out of the flavored stock and freeze any leftover stock/gravy for later use.
