Ingredients
Roast
| 1 Teaspoon | garlic powder |

1
Make the roast: When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 180℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available.

In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the chuck roast.
