I enjoy using my slow cooker, and this is a recipe I was really looking forward to. In spite of the low rating, the flavour was actually not bad. But I found that there were three key issues I had with the original. My qualms were the following: 1. the type of roast wasn't specified. For my first attempt I used a very cheap cut, which was too fatty, and the sandwiches were cloying. I finally used a tri-tip, and it was fine. This would have been good to know. 2. the slow cooking process seemed to mute the garlic flavour, drowning it out. Again, after using fresh garlic, it really came to life. 3. When I used the bouillion, I found it too salty. On the second attempt, I used homemade beef broth instead (low sodium consomme would have worked as well) and I enjoyed it much more.
