Ingredients:

2-pound chuck roast

1½ teaspoons salt

½ teaspoon pepper

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

2 tablespoons minced garlic

Instructions:

Season and Set:

Situate the roast in a 6-quart slow cooker, ensuring an even sprinkle of salt and pepper over it.

Craft the Crust:

In a mixing bowl, meld together the Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary, and garlic.

Ensure that the Parmesan mixture is generously and evenly distributed over the roast. Firmly press the mixture onto the meat, forming a crust.

Slow Cook to Perfection:

Secure the cover and permit the roast to gently cook, choosing either 4 hours on a high setting or 8 hours on a low setting.

Rest and Retain Moisture:

Once cooking concludes, detach the pot from the slow cooker, remove the lid, and allow the roast a leisurely rest for 10 to 15 minutes before embarking on slicing. This pause is pivotal in maintaining a juicy, moist roast.

Slice and Serve:

Carve your roast, distribute, and dive into a world where traditional comfort meets a zestful, innovative experience.
