Crock Pot Beef Roast My Version

Submitted by MsSally

"This is my way of making beef roast in the crock pot. This has several steps and I like to do this on a weekend because weekdays at my house are to hectic to get this started. Hope you enjoy as much as my family does. Try to buy the best roast you can for the money. I often like to buy a good roast when on sale and freeze till I'm ready to use it."

Very good! I didn't have time in the morning to put this in the crock pot so when I came home, I made this in my dutch oven on the stove. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't add the potatoes and I added a pound of baby carrots. I also used black pepper instead of red. I didn't have beef broth so I used two cups of water and two boullioun cubes. I cooked on the stove for two hours and this was just wonderful. The meat was so tender and tasty. Next time I cook this I would use low sodium beef broth as we did think this was a bit salty. I made mashed potatoes and served the gravy on top. Very good!

Oh very yum! I haven't made a good roast beef in quite a long time. My kids have started calling it roast beast. Not anymore! Ahah! This was not difficult to put together at all. I love that it doesn't have any packets of soup mix. I added half a container of sliced mushrooms to the crock too. This makes for a delicious gravy too.
