Java Roast

ChristineChristine Jock

ingredients

  • 3 lb chuck roast, trimmed of fat
  • 3/4 cup brewed coffee
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 1 t garlic powder, or 4-5 chopped cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 black pepper
  • 1 T Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 T red wine vinegar
  • 4 oz cream cheese (to add at the end)

directions

  • 1

    Use a 4 quart or larger crockpot.

  • 2

    I opted to not brown the meat and onions, and instead plopped everything in to the crockpot. I put the vegetables on the bottom, and then the meat.

  • 3

    Add the coffee, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, and spices.

  • 4

    Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4-5. I cooked our meat on low for exactly 8 hours, and then it was on warm for another 3.

  • 5

    Carefully remove the meat from the pot, and stir in the cream cheese. I’d cut the cream cheese in slices and add it one at a time, if you can, to help it from separating in little white dots the way mine did. I got impatient. If you do get a bunch of little white dots, they will taste fine, but annoy you.
