You all blew it out of the water last week. I was so surprised how many of you went the extra mile and made your own gnocchi from scratch. Now that is above and beyond!
This week's recipe is a great one for weeknight meal! It cooks all day while you are at work or going about your business and is an easy throw together at mealtime.

Chuck Roast

This large primal comes from the shoulder area and yields cuts known for their rich, beefy flavor. Features roasts ideal for slow-cooking as well as more tender, grill-ready cuts such as the Flat Iron Steak.
