  • Carrots (1/2 lb; cut into 2 inch segments)
  • Potatoes (6; cut into bite sized pieces)
  • Yellow Onion (1/2; cut into quarters)

  2. OPTIONAL: Heat up a Cast Iron Skillet on medium-high heat with some oil and sear the sides of the roast (3-5 min). It should brown nicely.
  3. Season the roast with your favorite rub; or just use salt and pepper. Then place it in the slow cooker on top of the potatoes, garlic, and onions.

  5. Set the slow cooker on low and cook for ~5 hours.

Notes:

  • The roast is “done” when it falls apart with a fork. Slow cooking a cut of meat like this makes it so tender and juicy.
  • Cooking the meat on top of the potatoes (along with a little oil) helps to add flavor to what would otherwise be bland potatoes. Your potatoes are essentially boiled in meat juice (so tasty!).
  • Add more salt and pepper as necessary.
  • There is no need to stir this dish. Set it and forget it (for no more than 6 hours).
