anyone have a good slow-cooker pot roast recipe?

[StevenYoo]

methinks I'll make a pot roast in my slow cooker next week.

Anyone have any good recipes? There are too many to sift through online.

Not something too conservative; something a bit more interesting.

thanks

Sounds to me like that's a kick ass recipe then.

Poke holes in the meat with a knife and stuff it with garlic, maybe some basil or even rosemary if you like those flavors. This really helps flavor the meat. Include more garlic and some aromatics to the broth (Use beef broth or some bullion to really intensify the flavor of the meat - I'm not a big fan of this, but my fiancee loves it). Chopped potatoes, carrots, onions, and fresh green beans... and some more garlic. Put the lid on and let i do its thing. When you can easily "cut" the meat with the big plastic spoon it is ready to serve.

Oh, fresh ground pepper and some salt (Don't use salt if you are using beef broth/boulion) to taste as well

2-3 pound bottom round roast or equivalent cut
Cube up taters, slice carrots and a stick of celery
1 Can cream of mushroom soup
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 cup red wine
1 cup beef broth
A few slices of bacon

In a frying pan brown the roast on all sides over high heat. Toss the seared roast, the veggies and everything else into the crock pot on medium for 6 or 7 hours. Salt and pepper to taste, if desired thicken the gravy with a little corn starch before serving.

Optionally you can leave the potatoes out of the pot, cook them separately, mash them and serve on the side with the gravy over them.

perhaps you can try creating an Asian inspired recipe.

using ginger, garlic, onions, tariyaki sauce, etc...

or maybe a Tex Mex version.

or just the more traditional pot roast.

what do you think?
