Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Vegetables:

- Pour the prepared marinade evenly over the chuck roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.

, until the chuck roast is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Shred the Meat:
- Once cooked, remove the chuck roast and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and mix it with the vegetables and juices.
Portion and Store:
