- FODMAP: For those of you who suffer from stomach ailments, you can substitute gluten free au jus packets and dairy free ranch dressing packets if needed. I couldn’t find any information on pepperocini’s being okay on the stomach so I had the pepperocini’s cook in the slow cooker and then removed them after cooking.
Cooking
You will want this roast to cook on low all day. DO NOT COOK THIS ROAST ON HIGH IN THE SLOW COOKER! It really needs a good 8-10 hours to cook to become tender.

Types of Meat
There are several good quality types of meat you can use:

FAQ:
Do I need any liquid?
Nope! It’s fine the way it is! The juices from the meat will start to break apart as it cooks making for a nice tender roast.
What if my meat came out tough?
Most likely the cause is trying to cook the meat too quickly, or not giving the meat enough time to cook to become tender.
