Notes

  • Searing your roast before adding it to the slow cooker can will enhance the flavors and lock in the juices. As we all know sometimes we just don't have the time to get extra steps completed when cooking in the firehouse. If you don't want to sear the meat the chuck roast will turn out just fine without this extra step.
 
  • Don't worry about adding additional liquid to the pot. As the roast cooks the flavorful juices from the meat will fill the pot mixing with the spices.
