Crock Pot Balsamic Shredded Beef

I apologize for not posting in awhile. I have been trying to stick with simple recipes that my husband can help me out on. He does not like to look at recipes and follow directions, which I don't always follow the exact directions. 

There is nothing really more simple than cooking in a crock pot so this recipe is easy and definitely has a different taste to it. I was unsure at first of the taste, but it grew on me. It was a bonus that Kyle really liked it. Another one to add to the keeper section! :) 

Sorry, there is no picture this time. 

I halved the recipe since I am on Herbalife for breakfast and lunch. It still made plenty and I gave the leftovers to my in-laws to try. I also added in carrots...I love soft, caramelized carrots.

Ingredients: (Original recipe)

4-5 lb. beef chuck roast

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (I added in more)

1 cup beef broth

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp. soy sauce 

1 tsp. kosher salt (I added in more)

My additions:

I also added a pinch or two of Cayenne pepper for more heat

more kosher salt

more crushed red pepper flakes

half a bag of small carrots

What To Do:

• Whisk together all the ingredients and add to the bottom of the crock pot
• Add roast
• Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours
