Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chopped vegetables in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then place it on top of the vegetables.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Pour this mixture over the roast.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or frozen for about 3 months. Reheat with a splash of broth for moisture. Consider adding wine for enhanced flavor or other veggies for variation. A BBQ twist can be achieved by using sauce instead of broth.
