grandpa’s thoughts:
Now. What I love to do, is to forget serving this roast with vegetables, but instead I shred the roast with a fork and then put the meat back into the slow cooker with juices. Then I use the shredded roast for making sandwiches for the family. I pile it high on a roll, put cheese on top, put it in the broiler, and serve it with the juice for dipping. Essentially, it’s another French dip recipe, but it doesn’t have to be. Either way, its flavor and tenderness are always a favorite with our family!
