For once, I'm ahead of the game. I currently have a very thick chuck roast
in the crockpot. At 1:00 a.m., the roast will go into the fridge, with the
spicy liquid in a separate container. We have to get some good hoagy buns
in the morning, and I'll look for Provolone cheese and maybe some banana
peppers or peperoncini. Anyway, here's the recipe, which I always make
with round roast (until now). For low-carbing, just skip the buns. It's
still delicious.

Yum -- this sounds really good, and I'm having the family in for dinner next
weekend. They'd probably like this. Usually when I cook a roast in the
crockpot, we season it w/ just salt, pepper and onion, andeat it on
kimmelweck rolls. But I'd like to try these seasonings for a change!

Thanks!
Chris

It's best to use the round, rather than the chuck. At least, for me it is.
Nice, lean slices, very tender. Just remember to cook the meat a day ahead
of time (or early in the morning, so it can cool before being sliced).

I hope you and your family enjoy this!
