Directions
Step 1
Place dried chiles into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until chiles are softened, 15 to 20 minutes.

Pour chile mixture into a blender. Add garlic, onion slice, pepper, oregano, cumin, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth.
Step 3
Layer chopped onions in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place chuck roast over onions and add bay leaves. Pour chile sauce on top.
