Notes

Recipe Notes
Cream of anything – Feel free to swap the canned soup with my homemade cream of anything soup to avoid processed ingredients and adjust the flavors.
Make-ahead friendly – You can prep this the night before and store the crock pot insert in the fridge.
Leftovers – Shredded roast makes excellent sandwiches or can be tucked into quesadillas.
