Notes
You can also cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours, although it will not be as tender as cooking on low. Low and slow is easier for shredding.
In a hurry? Skip searing the roast. It won't make too much of a noticeable difference and is a huge time-saver.
This recipe is low carb. Serve with mashed or riced cauliflower and veggies.
Don't add any additional liquid. It will make enough on its own as it cooks.
