All the talk of Damsel's Italian Beef recipe has got me craving...and
thinking.
The recipe calls for round roast. I have a chuck roast. I always do my chuck
roasts in the crock pot so I know it will cook up okay.

Has anyone done it with chuck? (HA! HA! Lucky chuck!)
Is there something essential missing in a chuck roast that would mess with the
recipe? I know I could just go buy a round roast and be done with it, but you
know, i have the chuck and may as well use it.

Thanks, chochachos!

Ariane Jenkins uses chuck roast for this all the time. You just won't
wind up with large slices like you would with round. Maybe cook the
chuck to shreds? That'd be good.

Where can I look at this recipe? Don't see it on the RFC web site.

Larry T,

It's still in the newsgroup. Back up about 30,000 messages and search
"italian beef" in the subject.

Sadly, my ISP doesn't offer such retention.

Search on google groups.

I agree! I have a bottom round roast in the freezer that is "calling" out to
my crockpot! LOL We all love Italian Beef.

Carol, do you ever add onion powder to it? Is there any particular reason
why the recipe has garlic crushed and garlic powder?

I will definitely be making this recipe as soon as my roast thaws.

No clue. A friend gave me a recipe that she had adapted from one of
those little organization cookbooks, and I adapted it further. Both
forms of garlic were present in the recipe I was given. Feel free to
add or subtract anything you think would make it suit your personal
tastes better.

Please let me know what you think!
