For a richer flavor, sear the chuck roast in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. If you prefer a smoother gravy, use an immersion blender to eliminate any lumps after thickening. Fresh cranberries can be substituted for jellied cranberry sauce. Use about 12 ounces of fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer on the stovetop until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens slightly before adding to the slow cooker. Add a splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar to the gravy for an extra layer of complexity.
