Low heat gives the best result.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I make this ahead?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes! Cook completely, cool, and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on low or on the stovetop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I use a different cut of beef?<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can, but cuts like round roast or brisket won\u2019t shred as easily. Chuck roast is best for fall-apart texture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How should I serve it?<\/strong><br \/>\nServe with mashed potatoes, over rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the gravy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can it be frozen?<\/strong><br \/>\nAbsolutely! freeze leftovers (with or without vegetables) for up to 2 months.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper-penci-recipe\">\n<div class=\"penci-recipe penci-recipe-hide-featured penci-recipe-novertitle precipe-style-4\">\n<div class=\"penci-recipe-heading\">\n<div class=\"penci-recipe-metades\">\n<h2 class=\"recipe-title-nooverlay\">Ultimate Slow Cooker Chuck Roast with Tender Vegetables<\/h2>\n<div class=\"penci-recipe-meta\"><i class=\"penci-ficon ficon-hot-food\"><\/i> <span class=\"remeta-item\">Serves:<\/span> <span class=\"servings\">6-8<\/span> <i class=\"penci-ficon ficon-clock\"><\/i> <span class=\"remeta-item\">Prep Time:<\/span> <time datetime=\"PT15M\">15 minutes<\/time> <i class=\"penci-ficon ficon-cooking\"><\/i> <span class=\"remeta-item\">Cooking Time:<\/span> <time datetime=\"PT8H\">8 hours<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"penci-recipe-rating penci-nutrition penci-show-nutrition\"><i class=\"penci-ficon ficon-fire\"><\/i><span class=\"nutrition-lable\">Nutrition facts:<\/span> <span class=\"nutrition-item\">200 calories<\/span> <span class=\"nutrition-item\">20 grams fat<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"penci-recipe-ingredients penci-recipe-not-visual\">\n<h3 class=\"penci-recipe-title\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>3-4 lb chuck roast<\/li>\n<li>4-5 garlic cloves, minced<\/li>\n<li>1 \u00bd lb petite potatoes, halved or quartered if large<\/li>\n<li>1 lb baby carrots<\/li>\n<li>1 yellow onion, sliced<\/li>\n<li>1 cup beef broth<\/li>\n<li>2-3 tsp Italian seasoning<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp black pepper<\/li>\n<li>\u00be-1 tsp sea salt (to taste)<\/li>\n<li>2 Tbsp corn starch (optional, for thickening)<\/li>\n<li>2 Tbsp water (optional, for thickening)<\/li>\n<li>1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, \u2153 cup red wine, OR 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional flavor enhancers)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"penci-recipe-method\">\n<h3 class=\"penci-recipe-title\">Instructions<\/h3>\n<p>Slice the yellow onion and rinse the potatoes and carrots.<br \/>\nPlace the carrots, potatoes, and sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Slowly pour the mixture into the slow cooker while stirring. Continue cooking for 30 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your liking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for an effortless dinner that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen?
