Pour melted garlic butter over beef chuck roast, alongside 4 ingredients, into slow cooker for a savory holiday dinner that’s always a yes in my house

warm but not sizzling.

Stir the dried Italian herb blend into the melted garlic butter, along with the salt and black pepper, until the seasonings are evenly distributed.

With the slow cooker uncovered, slowly pour the warm garlic herb butter over the top of the raw chuck roast, making sure to coat the surface well and letting the butter run down the sides into the bottom of the crock.
