For an even deeper flavor, sear the chuck roast in a hot skillet with a little olive oil before adding it to the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and enhance the overall richness of the dish. Consider adding other vegetables to the slow cooker, such as carrots, potatoes, or celery, for a complete one-pot meal. Add them in the last 3-4 hours of cooking to prevent them from becoming too mushy. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. However, fresh herbs will provide a more vibrant flavor. The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker. Check the roast for tenderness after 7 hours and adjust the cooking time accordingly. Shred the chuck roast with two forks and serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or creamy polenta. Drizzle with the flavorful cooking liquid for an extra touch of richness.
