I have a crockpot but the interior is only 2 inches deep and 9.5 inches across. It is old but works. The chuck roasts I buy are at least 1.5 inches thick. No room for potatoes, carrots and onions. Shoot!
Wow, you’ve got a small crockpot! It’s too bad there isn’t room for potatoes, or even carrots. Come Christmas time, there are always really great deals on crockpots. I have a 4-inch deep oval (Rival brand) crockpot that’s about 2 years old (which I got at a big box store preceding Christmas).
Yes, this recipe definitely would work with a chuck roast. :)
