I believe the key to this dish is quality meat. The tenderness of the meat has as much to do with quality of chuck roast as it does time in the cooker. I buy my chuck roast fresh from Sam's club in bulk packages and freeze for future use. I season the meat the day before as i thaw it in the fridge for 24 hours before serving. Also, i try to make sure the vegetables match themselves in size ie potatoes are same size as potatoes carrots as carrots and so forth.
Also, this Sandwich trial is more of a leftover usage than a fresh sandwich because i am using Fridays pot roast as Saturdays pot roast sandwich. I only used the leftover meat and onions.
