Instructions
- Mix all ingredients for the pot roast seasoning together until combined.
- Add the onion, potatoes, and carrots to the bottom of the slow cooker. Rub roast on all sides with seasoning mixture and place the roast on top of the vegetables.Note: no additional liquid needs to be added to the slow cooker. The pot roast and veggies will release liquid as they cook.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours. The longer it cooks, the more tender it will be.
- Once done, shred the roast, discarding ing any extra fat as your shred. The meat can be mixed back in with the juices, or served as is with the potatoes, onions and carrots.
Notes
- Tip: There is no need to trim the chuck roast before cooking. Once the roast is cooked, you will be able to easily separate the extra fat to discard what doesn't cook off.
