This Forget About It Roast is a classic, 3 ingredient recipe. It’s fall apart tender, and baked low and slow.  It’s the best and easiest roast I have ever made!

“Fuggedaboutit Roast” {The Forgotten Roast}  is the best and the easiest roast I have ever made.  I found the recipe in a church cookbook my grandma gave me back in 1985. I love finding her handwriting — it literally makes my day.  I remembered this was in my hope chest for many years. 

Here I am on my graduation day, with my grandmas. Grandma Martin on my right and Grandma Czaplewski on my left.

Did you have a hope chest growing up?  Mine was full of things from my grandmas, mostly.  My Grandma Martin’s pie plate, and an afghan she crocheted me,  tea towels my Grandma Czaplewski had embroidered for me, and this cookbook.  I hadn’t had it out in a long time, but now that I do, I have been having so much fun reading through the recipes!  I recently made this Chocolate Pudding Frosting from this very same cookbook!

This whole cookbook was typed on a typewriter.  Can you imagine that in this day and age? Well, I don’t know Trish Franck, the person who submitted her “forgotten roast” recipe to the United Foursquare Women cookbook, but wherever you are — THANK YOU!  This was amazing! My hubby LOVED it and compared it to the roast his grandmother used to make on Sundays.  I even baked it in my enameled roaster, just like his Grandma did.  It was a nostalgic meal for both of us.

Some of my Grandmas’ Recipes:

• Banana Cream Jelly Roll
• Rhubarb Pie
• Hamburger Soup
• Baked Beans
• Chocolate Meringue Pie
• Smoked Polish Sausage & Sauerkraut

When I saw the name I laughed to myself, even though I read “Forgotten Roast” I heard Tony Soprano’s voice in my head, you remember The Sopranos, right? — “Fuggedaboutit” and that is exactly what you do.  A couple of common pantry ingredients, and pop it in your oven for 5-6 hours.  If you want gravy for your potatoes, it makes a quick and easy one from the drippings.  Perfect Sunday Supper Meal.

Shred the meat or slice it — that’s your preference.  You are going to love how fall apart, fork tender it is!

Ingredients in Fuggedaboutit Roast:

• 3 pound beef chuck roast
• onion soup mix
• cream of mushroom soup
• fresh or canned mushrooms (optional)

Lay roast on a large piece of heavy duty foil, rub a packet of onion soup mix into it.

Cover with a can of cream of mushroom soup.

This step is optional – I added one can of sliced mushrooms. (we LOVE mushrooms!)

Wrap and seal up the foil, place in a roaster. Bake it low and slow for 5-6 hours.

We baked ours for 5 hours and it was perfect.  I used a chuck roast, so it wasn’t super thick.  

5-6 hours later, unwrap and enjoy the most tender roast you have ever eaten!

I drained the fat from the drippings, heated them on the stove, added a little kitchen bouquet and another can of mushroom soup and had a fantastic gravy.

Hey … You think there’s a better roast out there? “Fuggedaboutit!”
