Excellent flavor! I followed this exactly except I put it in the oven at 275 degrees for about 4 hours. The apple juice and Apple cider vinegar added a very nice flavor to the meat. Thanks for a great recipe.

What a wonderful rich tasting roast! I also did mine in the oven (300 degrees for about 4 hrs.) I thickened the gravy at the end, great the next day for sandwiches. Thanks.

My husband loved the gravy--said he didn't often go back to get more gravy, but this time he would. Thank you, Lvs2Cook.

Very good roast. I used a venison roast and it turned out great. I loved the onions, they turned out so nice. My son put away the leftovers and said they were only for him. This is a wonderful crock pot meal that I will use again. Thank you.

This roast was absolutely delicious I cooked it in the crockpot but I didn't have any apple juice on hand so I left that out and it still turned out wonderful I added some baby carrots and thickened the gravy. There is another crockpot roast with the name "To Die For" but I think it should be the name for this recipe.Thanks for posting
