OH MY! This was absolutely fantastic. The roast was tender and the gravy was out of this world. I served this with garlic mashed potatoes and lemon-garlic green beans. This really is a keeper. Thanks for posting.

This was so delicious! The gravy was so tasty and was the perfect flavor for the roast. I used a 3 pound chuck roast,seasoned it with Emeril's Essence and pepper (didn't use salt) and browned it in some olive oil before putting it in the crock pot. I added minced garlic instead of the powder and added some sliced shallots and a pinch of sugar. I removed the meat when it was done (so tender!) and I thickened the gravy a bit by combining a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water and stirring it into the pot and letting it cook on low about 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally. The result was a rich, fabulous gravy ! I made buttermilk mashed potatoes, Dijon-glazed carrots and sourdough rolls to go with the roast.I agree with Audrey M. -this is a keeper! Thank you so much for sharing this,Denise!
