Chuck Roast into Crockpot. Coat very, very liberally with all spices. Add small amount of water to pot. Cook on low for 6 or 7 or 8 hours. Only gets more tender and stringier. (my kids started calling it Mom's Stringy Roast and it stuck through the years.) Later you can add carrots, or potatoes, or onions, or whatever you like. The size of roast determines how many it feeds. The gravy is wonderful over rice. This recipe has no added salt and that makes it just perfect for low-salt or no-salt requirements. Through the earlier years I used alot of salt but now I'm salt restricted and so is my husband so this is perfect.
