Crock Pot Marinated Pot Roast

dragonpawz's Note:

Found this in a Slow Cooker Classic's magazine. The marinade really brings out a great flavor in the meat. It comes out so tender that you won't even need a knife! You can also add potatoes and carrots in the last hour of cooking if you like. Is also great over noodles.

Delicious! I was a little nervous about how the cloves would flavor the roast but everything worked together so well that we will be making this again. Due to time constraints I did make the roast in the oven vs crock pot and it was tender, juicy, and delicious. I used broth, regular soy sauce, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. *Made for PAC Spring 2010*

This was wonderful! I used the white wine and regular soy sauce. My family doesn't care for gravy, so I didn't make that. I marinated the roast all day, and put it in the crockpot at midnight. It was great for lunch the next day. Thanks for such an easy & tasty recipe.
