My wife prefers rump, but I think chuck is much tastier and comes out more tender.

I don't use the slow cooker much for roast other than for Italian drip roast. For that, I've used both chuck and rump and they both come out very tender. Chuck is greasier.

Rump roast.

I use a healthy amount of this:



and about 4 packs of these:



Add water til about half way up the roast, Worcestershire and salt/pepper to taste (towards the end).

I cook on high for 3 or 4 hours then low overnight. It comes out amazing, and juicy and tender. The juices can be an au jous or thicken for a gravy.

It's probably the dish I make that I get the most recipe requests for.

(Sorry for the massive pic).

Chuck. I trim the excess fat globules off first. I always put veggies on the bottom (onions, peppers, carrots, red potatoes, celery, etc) and then lay chuck on top. Cook on low all day. Makes a great gravy or stock for other dishes.

I actually like to get skirt steak and make a homemade carne asada. One of my favorite slow cooker dishes.

You have meat to make meals for the next few days. I usually do California Burritos the day I make it, then make sandwiches/ wraps or eat the leftovers by itself
