BA, how much does beef chuck roast go for in your area? Around here it can be had fairly cheaply on a regular basis and when cooked in a slow cooker it can be very tender and very frugal! I like to put one in, throw in some carrots, onions, and potatoes and some seasoning (maybe even a package of onion soup mix) and let it cook on low all day. The liquid can be easily thickened for a great gravy. I do that same basic thing with chicken to make a nice chicken and gravy to go over potatoes, rice or noodles.
I also make mexican type dishes in the slow cooker.
