This had such a different taste than your normal crock pot roast. I browned the roast on all sides with the steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce on it. I sauteed the chopped onions and then added everything to the pot as written. (I had no celery so subbed cabbage in it's place). I used garden tomatoes that I had frozen and thawed, using all the juice in place of the broth and added about a tablespoon of beef base. My husband and I thought the vegetables, especially the potatoes had a really great taste. As someone else said the smell during the day was wonderful! Thanks for posting!

Pretty good pot roast - we really enjoyed it. The long cooking time made the roast very tender and flavorful. The best part of it was the ease of preparation - throw it in the crock pot and let it cook without heating up the whole house with the oven. I subbed russet potatoes for red potatoes (as I had them on hand) - and added a bit more celery than directed. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. Made for the Groovy GastroGnomes, ZWT5.

Very good, easy to put together and the house smelled great all day while this was cooking. I would recommend highly seasoning the ingredients, the long cooking time seems to dull them a bit - all of us found that we had to add a lot of salt at the end to our taste. Made for the Dining Daredevils for ZWT5.

Fantastic! I seared the meat before putting in the crock pot. The flavors were amazing. The meat was very soft. I couldn't believe it tasted so good with only one added spice! My husband, who NEVER gives 5 stars for anything, told me that this one was definitely 5 stars. Thanks! This is my new favorite beef recipe!
