In the military where they invented the stuff it is served on toast and is referred to as "shit on a shingle" sorry for the language.

Try Chuckwagon stew for a better feed

One Chuck roast if you can get one still (most are ground up into hamburger today)......Round roast if not.

Brown at 300F for 2 hrs
Then Slow cook at very low temperature for 2 to3 days. In a covered good sealing casserole dish or roasting pan. Yes thats days and not hours. And a low temp can vary from 100- 200F usually not over boiling. Baste and add a little bouillon now and again.

The meat fibers break down and the juices come out and the whole thing is so good for you it's like medicine. By the third day you will have stew that is incredible. Some add veggies but I think it un-necessary. Garlic and spices are also optional.

This was served on the old cattle drives as the chuckwagon followed the men and kept the big cast iron pot simmering in charcoal in the back. The chuck was the cheapest cut and in those days was normally thrown away.
But was used to feed the cattle drivers. So no real cost to the rancher.

However it was so good they named the chuck wagons after the chuck roast and it became synonymous with food.

Exactly, mashed together is good with cheese on top and baked beans on the side.
This was the first meal my husband asked me to make him when I got here. He had missed his comfort food so much:rofl:
