 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  5       lb           Beef chuck arm pot roast *
  2       tb           Cooking fat
                       Salt
                       Pepper
  1       md           Onion -- sliced
 10 3/4   oz           Cheddar cheese soup -- condensed
  8       oz           Tomato sauce
  4       oz           Mushrooms -- sliced, drained
    1/4   ts           Oregano
    1/4   ts           Basil

 In a Dutch oven, or large pan with a tight-fitting cover, brown
 meat in fat. Season with salt and pepper and remove from pan. Pour
 off fat drippings.

 Cook onion in drippings remaining in pan until soft but not
 browned; stir often.

 Add soup, tomato sauce, mushrooms, oregano, and basil; mix well.

 Return meat to pan. Cover and simmer for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until
 done. (Or cook in a 325 F oven for same amount of time.) Turn meat
 once to cook it evenly throughout. Skim off excess fat.

 If sauce is too thin, remove meat to a platter and keep warm. Mix
 2 tb flour in 1/3 cup cold water. Add mixture slowly to sauce.
 Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened,
 about 3 minutes. Taste sauce and correct seasoning, if necessary,
 with salt and pepper.

 If sauce needs only a little thickening, remove meat, skim off
 excess fat, and simmer, uncovered, for a few minutes.

 Slice meat and serve with gravy.

 * Frozen beef chuck arm pot roasts and beef chuck blade roasts may
   be browned under the broiler. Place meat on boiler pan rack, then
   place pan in center of oven. Brown to one side, about 10 minutes.
   Turn meat and brown other side, about 8 to 10 minutes. Meat
   should be completely thawed after browning.
