  • Once tender, remove roast from crock and shred into large pieces using 2 forks.

  • Return to gravy. Serve warm and enjoy.

    Notes:

    This recipe is a big hit here! Not only is a chuck roast my favorite, hands down, but this recipe is also so easy and simple. Especially with easy sides like cornbread and a simple vegetable!

  • Don’t add any additional liquid. It will make enough on its own as it cooks.

  • To reheat, spread meat out on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for about 7-10 minutes, or until heated through. Heat gravy on the stove in a saucepan or in the microwave in a microwave-safe dish. You can also reheat meat in the microwave for a quicker method.

  • Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
