Notes
While this recipe only requires salt and pepper, I make different versions depending on what else I’m serving. Taco seasoning, for example, is a great addition especially if you’re planning to make Viral Chuck Roast Tacos. I like to cook my roast in an enameled cast iron that has a fitted lid but you are welcome to use a glass baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. I like to serve this with roasted potatoes and carrots. Just cube them up, toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and roast at 425°F for 45 minutes.
