This recipe was fairly good. My husband and I don't care for coffee so there was none on hand; I got some from a local cafe. It wasn't \"strong\" as advised in the recipe. I also covered the meat with steak sauce after anointing it with the seasonings. I used a top round roast rather than a chuck roast because it was on sale. Cooked for 10 hours on low. It came out very flavorful and tender.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"11\/14\/2015 20:18","GUID":"EF776E805095A85BDF600FE99D59AED8","MemberId":98373,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Susie77","SubmittedDate":"11\/14\/2015 20:18"},{"Comment":"

You need to brown the chuck roast first,searing it on all sides before putting it in the crock pot,mine came out very tender and juicy,I put the rub on before browning then put some coffee in the pan to get all the yummy bits., then add everything to the crock pot.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"09\/27\/2015 21:20","GUID":"a49298c1552e4b67893f72f4a705e481","MemberId":8450834,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Tcsurfer","SubmittedDate":"09\/27\/2015 21:20"},{"Comment":"
This is really good and it came out moist and tender, I did not change anything except to add 1 1\/4 t. dried minced onion instead of using cloves of fresh garlic (which I did not have). I already have several very good roast recipes, but this one will go into my rotation.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"09\/09\/2015 08:49","GUID":"540cf034400242c58d73219b9664b072","MemberId":6067029,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"luv2swim_AZ","SubmittedDate":"09\/09\/2015 08:49"},{"Comment":"
This recipe sounds so great , but when i made it the meat came out dry and the gravy was not what i was expecting.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"07\/28\/2015 09:15","GUID":"293ec037b59a4fc6912352dd49c2a446","MemberId":8309866,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"Armstras07","SubmittedDate":"07\/28\/2015 09:15"},{"Comment":"
This is now the only pot roast I make. It is delish! I love the flavors - the gravy comes out perfect every time. It couldn't be easier to make, too. In fact, it's cooking in my crockpot for tonight's dinner! I highly recommend trying this!<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"","GUID":"6ff55f124b804fd5b42db9dc6d38a1f9","MemberId":1893886,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jdoepel","SubmittedDate":"01\/13\/2014 11:28"},{"Comment":"
I was really disappointed in this roast. My husband and I felt it was mediocre. I cooked it on low for 8 hrs. and it was tender but a little dry. The gravy is what I was looking forward to and it was lacking in something, not sure exactly what. I will not be trying this one again.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"","GUID":"b1204bb3737443daa7ce9ae927276241","MemberId":5986130,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"plainpatty","SubmittedDate":"01\/12\/2014 16:15"},{"Comment":"
This was very tasty, and easy to throw together before heading to work for the day. I will definitely make this one again. The gravy was very flavorful as well.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"04\/22\/2013 13:54","GUID":"f21c4cbfbc3d4498a3de249d0825f98c","MemberId":4441258,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"LibbiPeach@cox.net","SubmittedDate":"04\/22\/2013 13:54"},{"Comment":"
This was very easy to make and tasted delicious when it was finished. I cooked it for 8 hours and although it was very moist it was not as tender as I would have liked. Next time I make it I will cook it longer. I will be making this again!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"12\/22\/2012 21:42","GUID":"834f14e934fd44eeba9fbcb2feacb467","MemberId":4061455,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"shmeseraull","SubmittedDate":"12\/22\/2012 21:42"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"11\/02\/2012 17:55","GUID":"61c9f6de22914a4893cb566acb0b2643","MemberId":2561626,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Hanesmom","SubmittedDate":"11\/02\/2012 17:55"},{"Comment":"
