This recipe will work no matter what your chuck roast size. I suggest using a somewhere between two to three pounds. But if your roast is a little under two pounds or closer to a pound and a half, or a little over three pounds, it isnt going to break the recipe. It will still turn out just fine. You may have less servings or more than my recipe would make, but it will still be delicious. What could I use besides chuck roast? You could use a beef brisket (just make sure it fits in your slow cooker). You could also use a flat iron steak or you could even make this with a pork roast! Whats the best bun to use? I would suggest using a softer bun. I liked using a brioche bun, I felt like it was the perfect bun to use. A white sandwich bun would also work nicely. What if I dont like Dr. Pepper? Well, you dont actually taste the Dr. Pepper flavors in this dish. The soda just helps give added sweetness and tenderizes the meat a bit. Should I brown the chuck roast first? Browning the roast is not required, but it would help bring more flavor and color to the dish if that is something you are looking for. How to store leftovers? Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
