For extra richness, sear the roast in a hot skillet with olive oil before placing it in the slow cooker.
Add a splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar to the slow cooker for a more complex flavor.
If the sauce is too thin, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Leftovers are delicious in sandwiches, tacos, or served over mashed potatoes.
