Worst Pot Roast Ever

Yesterday I made a pot roast in my slow cooker. I've never had a bad meal from the slow cooker. I'm also a very good cook. So I'm not sure what went wrong with the pot roast.
I always put a bit of water in the slow cooker to help with the cooking and I always have good results, giving me nice moist delicious meals.
Not yesterday. I'm going to blame it on the cut of meat. It was tough, dry for all the liquid in the slow cooker, which made no sense on why it was dried out and tough.
I don't usually condone putting ketchup on pot roast or meatloaf though a lot of people do it and every member of my family does it. I think they like seeing my expression of them ruining my great dinner. However, I'm putting ketchup on my pot roast to try to get some moisture out of it. It's not working. It's still tough and dry.
I won't waste it. I will eat all of it. Not much left, but there is no hope for getting it moist. I think it's the meat not the way I cooked it.
Have you made a meal that turned out your worst ever?
Thanks for reading.

Cuts of meat are so iffy now.
Sometimes they look fine and as usual when you buy them but who knows once they are cooked?
I am sure I have had that experience.
I remember some very tough cuts of meat.

@Courtlynn If I have leftover meatloaf I will make it into a sandwich and then I put ketchup on it.

@just4him most of my food isn't cooked by me - just heated up in the microwave or shop bought ready to eat

Sorry it didn't turn out as you expected. Many years ago, I made a cake for a party that didn't turn out and it embarrassed me.

Tough and dry huh? That is weird. Is there something wrong with the slow cooker maybe?

Actually, that was the first time I got a bad cut of meat from them. Their meat is usually very good.

I think all of us have had a meal that just didn't turn out the way we expected. Luckily, it doesn't happen too often lol

Yeah, one of my biggest flops was black bean burgers. I think I didn't have all the water out of it. It was a mess. I ate them, but they were the stupidest looking burgers!

Maybe it was the cut of meat you used that didn't have much fat to give it moisture?

There wasn't any fat on it, now that you mention it. It got tossed.

Many a times...But not a good cook so it happens.
Couldn't you recycle it...Mix it with rice and veggies etc
