Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the roast all over with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.

  4. Add the roast to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes, turning as needed.
  5. Transfer the roast to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker, along with all other ingredients.
  6. Cook on High for 8 Hrs or Until Meat is Tender

My Thoughts….

I know what when you read the recipe attached you’re going to see a bunch of ingredients missing and I didn’t make it step by step as instructed.

I was in such a rush the day I made it (for a bunch of our clients) that I was thinking like all good slow cooker meals you just put it all in there and go about your day. Not so much.

I did brown the meat, I always do that just to add another layer of flavor, but I didn’t make the roux (which I should have realized was missing since you want it to become a gravy) and it still came out awesome.

I added some red potatoes (since I bought some thinking it was in the recipe) and that helped to make the gravy thicker than it would have been without the roux.
