"I took Giada's recipe and made a few tweaks to it.. I used a chuck roast instead of short ribs.. I cooked this in a slow cooker. I started with a can of cream of onion soup, along with the onion,mustard, garlic, roma tomatoes, wine (shiraz is all I had), tomato paste and I added a bit of tomato sauce.
