Crock Pot Roast

Very simple recipe I've used as long as I've been cooking. I usually put it together the night before and put it in the fridge. Then in the morning on my way out the door I can grab it, set it in the slow cooker on low and off I go! Even easier if you use those slow cooker liners. And you can always use the drippings to make a very flavorful gravy by thickening drippings with a little flour after you have removed the roast and vegetables. Just whisk the flour and drippings and cook right in crock pot on high approximatley 15 minutes. What a wonderful smell to come home to......
