- 3 lbs chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (optional, for garnish)
- Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low and slow cooking will ensure the chuck roast becomes tender and flavorful.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Sear the roast for 4-5 minutes on each side, until it's nicely browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure a good sear.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent. This step builds a flavorful base for the roast.
- Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1 bay leaf. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.
- Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for about 3 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender. Check occasionally to ensure there’s enough liquid; add more broth if necessary.
- While the roast cooks, prepare the baked potatoes. Scrub the 4 large russet potatoes thoroughly and poke holes in them with a fork. Rub with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 1 hour, or until they are soft to the touch.
- Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding it with two forks. Discard the bay leaf.
- When the potatoes are done, carefully slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Stuff each potato with a generous portion of the shredded chuck roast.
- Top each stuffed potato with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Return the potatoes to the oven for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions. If desired, add bacon bits for extra flavor and crunch. Enjoy your Viral Chuck Roast Stuffed Baked Potatoes With Cheese!

Keywords: For the most tender roast, do not skip the slow-cooking step. Ensure your Dutch oven is large enough to hold the roast comfortably; overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking. Avoid using foil when preparing the potatoes to keep the skin crispy.
