Can I use a different cut of beef instead of chuck roast?

Yes, you can. If you don’t have beef chuck, try using brisket or round roast. Both cuts become tender after long, slow cooking. However, beef chuck gives the richest flavor and the juiciest texture, which is why it’s my first choice for Crockpot Maple Dijon Beef Chuck .

Can I make this recipe with chicken?

Definitely. The maple Dijon sauce works beautifully with chicken thighs. If Cook it on low for about 5 to 6 hours.

How do I thicken the sauce if it’s too thin?

If the sauce seems thin after cooking, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to let it reduce. You can also whisk in a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a bit of cold water and let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens.

Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. You can mix the sauce the night before and store it in the refrigerator. In the morning, just add the beef chuck to your crockpot, pour the sauce over, and start cooking. It’s an easy make-ahead meal that tastes even better the next day.
