When it is hot inward Alaska, similar it has been this calendar week (85° today, broke an 87 year record), I kickoff thinking well-nigh my ho-hum cooker. I sure as shooting practise non desire to plough on the oven when it gets this hot. 

Heat makes me lazy, which is to a greater extent than or less other argue I dear my ho-hum cooker..... I simply lay the meat together with veggies inward the crock pot, early on inward the day, together with forget well-nigh it. Not entirely does my draw of piece of employment solid odour wonderful, but repast fourth dimension is a snap; a stack of burger buns adjacent to the crock pot together with a bowl of Irish Gaelic patato salad together with I accept a repast agree for companionship (well, MY sort of companionship whatsoever way).

 

A browned chuck roast cooks depression together with ho-hum amongst veggies together with seasonings until it is fall-apart-tender. Thicken the sauce a petty (right inward the crock pot), then put the shredded beef dorsum inward together with you lot accept a heavenly sandwich.

CHUCK ROAST SLOPPY JOE'S

2 pounds lean beef chuck roast (trim whatsoever large obese areas)
1 loving cup chopped onion
2/3 loving cup chopped celery
2/3 loving cup greenish pepper
2/3 loving cup ketchup
½ loving cup water
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon ruddy pepper sauce
1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon dark pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder

Brown the beef chuck roast inward a frying pan, together with hence house inward a ho-hum cooker. In the same frying pan, saute the vegetables until the onions are almost transparent.  Put the vegetables inward the ho-hum cooker.

In a bowl, mix the balance of the ingredients together with pour over the meat together with veggies. Cook on high for four to five hours or on depression for 8 hours. It isn't necessary, but I plough the meat over a duet of times during cooking together with spoon the sauce over the meat.

Thirty minutes (or so) earlier serving, thicken the sauce amongst a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch together with 1 tablespoon of water.  Cut the beef into sandwich slices (or simply clitoris it apart) together with transcend amongst to a greater extent than or less of the sauce.  OH SO GOOD!!

NOTE:  My slow cooker took entirely four hours on high to brand the meat extremely tender, but nonetheless slice-able. If you lot similar your beef to a greater extent than similar pulled pork, create it on high for five hours.

NOTE: Browning the meat together with veggies isn't absolutely necessary, but it sure improves the overall taste.
