    Just finished dinner and we were very pleased with the result. I used beef stock and crushed two cloves of garlic with the roasted onion. Husband, cats and dog raved about the cooking aroma and all enjoyed the final product. Served with mashed potatoes and buttered carrots. Perfect for a Sunday supper in October. Plan to use the leftover meat and gravy over rice with steamed broccolli with a dash of soy sauce to give it an asian twist.

    AWESOME, SIMPLY and extremely good... I made it last week and am making it tonight with some mods... Adding Carrots and Mushrooms along with Garlic and that Onion...switching out the water for beef stock and going to up it a little because of the mushrooms... Can't wait to try it this way...

    Sound like my kind of eats! I grew up on mashed potatoes and gravy. The brown sugar rub sounds interesting.
    I'm going to whack up the onion right away to release the otherwise potentially pent up flavors. Ha. This definitely is the perfect place for a VADALIA. Yum.
    Call me CrazyOne, but I'm thinking chicken stock instead of water.
    Thanks for the post.

    I just added some garlic but followed all else exact. I was very happy with the results. I would add more pepper. A also food processed the onion, garlic and gravy then reheated it. I sliced the roast, slightly seperated the pieces then nearly covered it in the gravy.

    Cooked it last night for my husband. He said it was the best chuck roast he ever had! I was so excited! Thank you for the recipe.
    P.S. I skip the "chopping the onions into the gravy" part, but it tasted just great!
