    I browned the roast on all sides before putting it in the crock pot. Cut it into bite-sized cubes and into the crock. Delicious, warming, comforting. - 3/7/21

    Pefect "meat and potatoes recipe." Beware, if you use a 3.5-4lb roast, you'd better have a big crockpot or slow cooker. For use, a 2.5-3lb roast works better. Very hearty flavors. Kind of a pain to prep, but it's a crockpot recipe so prep is all you do. Come home to a hearty dinner. - 7/13/12
