Super Simple Pot Roast

Jewel was having a two-for-one sale on boneless chuck roasts last weekend, so I couldn't help but pick up a couple. However, I couldn't decide what to do and didn't really feel like doing anything too creative, so I made a simple as can be roast. It was yummy! No gravy or additional seasonings required. One caveat should be made. While I cooked it for 8 hours, I was a tad late getting home from work, so it sat on warm for more than two hours. I do not recommend that! The meat is nice and moist right out of the crockpot, however I expect it will require a bit of doctoring upon reheat. Enjoy!
