Questions & Replies

This question is for Chef Laura as she submitted the recipe. I picked up a chuck pot roast, today that was just a hair under three pounds. Would you adjust ingredients based on the roast being a little lighter? I keep going back and forth as to whether I should, and this will be my first time making this specific meal. Thanks!

My family gives this 2 thumbs up on this recipe!! I had a 5lb roast and I put it in the crockpot in the morning and let it cook all day. I did use beef stock (1 litre) and the rest water. I used only 1/2 tsp allspice and used garlic powder 1tsp I didnt add the salt as I thought the beef stock was saltly enough. Served with broccoli slaw and potato chips. Will be making this again, thanks so much for posting this recipe. Made for spring PAC 2010.

Although this was made to take to a couple of homebound neighbors, I did make it to suit myself ~ Had a 4 lb roast, left out the last ingredient & only used a dash of the hot sauce! Fixed a couple of sandwiches to keep & the rest went off to satisfy the neighbors! Very tasty & much appreciated! Thanks for sharing!
