In your tips, the link to hot giardiniara goes to your Italian version not the hot Chicago style one.

Thanks for the heads up!
Darrell says
Many pot roast recipes sear the sides of the roast before adding to the slow cooker. Is that not recommended for this recipe?
Mike Hultquist says
You can do that, Darrell. You'll get flavor from the sear. It's not required, but something I usually do when making pots of chili or other stews. Enjoy!

LizaJo says
Suggestions for replacing the beer? I absolutely hate the taste of beer, even in cooking. Should I just use water? Or would broth be better?
Mike Hultquist says
Use broth instead, either beef, chicken, or veggie. No problem! Still tastes great. =) Let me know how it turns out for you.
