Cajun Pot Roast for the Crock Pot

Jenn K.'s Note:

For a truly Cajun meal, serve this with cooked okra, but I'm not quite that Cajun so we just have this with green beans or another vegetable. Makes great sandwiches for left overs and can be frozen for 3 months with the sauce.

We left out the tapioca and used crushed no-salt tomatoes. This was FANTASTIC. Full of flavor, a keeper for sure!
