This recipe came about after years of tweaking and experimenting to find a more savory meal with less of a beef-stew feel to it. You will have more success and better flavor with a fattier roast that’s trimmed than a leaner cut of meat. It’s not the prettiest meal in the crockpot, but it will be one of your favorites!
