Instructions
Since the meat is in a frozen state, browning the meat in a skillet by searing the meat is not an option. Therefore, just place the meat, seasonings, and any liquid right in the crockpot.
Ensure that the crockpot is large enough to contain the frozen roast so the cooking can be efficient. Make sure that the meat only fills up ¾ of the slow cooker.
Cook on high so the meat is cooking as it is thawing. General guidelines for a roast is to cook for six hours on a HIGH setting, or until the meat is tender.
If possible, add smaller pieces of meat versus a whole roast. It will ensure that the meat thaws quickly to allow the most time for cooking.
The meat should be fork tender when done. That means the meat can be easily shredded with a fork.
Let the roast rest for at least five minutes before you slice it.
