Do I have a delicious recipe to share with you today! This one is a good one I promise. And easy. My two favorite things in a recipe. Want to know why it's so easy? Because it's made in the slow cooker. That thing just never lets me down. Ever.
This roast turned out so tender that I couldn't even slice it properly (just see the pictures for proof of this). That's a sign of some yummy meat if you ask me.
This recipe was inspired by the chili I used to make before I removed beans from my diet. I used to add a little cocoa powder to it and it made it so delicious! So I thought, why not try that with some real meat? Well that little experiment was a success. This may be my new favorite roast recipe. I hope you like it too!
Have a great weekend everyone. If you have any feedback or comments please feel free to send me a message.

Directions
1. Rinse and pat dry the roast2. Mix the spices for your rub in an extra spice jar, salt shaker, or bowl 3.
