Two of my favorite ways to use chuck: Carbonnade - a Flemish stew with lots of caramelized onions, dark beer, and dijon mustard. Many versions around, but Mark Bittman's is very good: http://www.food.com/recipe/carbonnade-beef-and-onions-stewed-in-beer-305639 The other is Stracotto - technically an Italian pot roast, but with red wine, Porcini, fresh herbs, and lots of garlic it's a while other level: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/stracotto-pot-roast-with-porcini-mushrooms-recipe.html I often make both of these in cold weather.
Chuck makes a fantastic chilli. You can also make a shredded beef tomato sauce. Slow cook the chuck in a crock pot with canned whole plum tomatoes, tomato purée, minced onions, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Service with a thick pasta, one that you can stab not twirl, finish with red pepper

Go Moroccan/North African if you like those sort of spices. Make Tagine, couscous, orange-olive salad, some Mediterranean dessert like baklava. Here's a tagine recipe using chuck roast:
