Introduction

created 5/28/09
It's important to layer vegetables under meat in a crockpot as they take longer to cook. The root vegetables needing the most time. Along with that, layering them like this allows all the ingredients on top to exude their juices and cook-down to flavor everything below.
I prefer to leave the roast whole as this allows me to remove the fat and cut the meat to my own preference after, which is of course, falling apart and fork tender. It also allows me to separate the roast and freeze some for the future or having the vegetables, which are yummy in their own right, without the beef, for meals I don't want red meat.
I make this as a batch meal, portion it out and keep it in the fridge for a week as something quick and filling.

    3 cloves garlic, minced
    8 oz Brown -crimini or baby bella- mushrooms
    2 large onions (9oz) about 3-4 cups, sliced

Directions

Makes about 10 servings of about 3.5 oz of meat and 8-10oz vegetables and gravy per serving.

1. Ingredients in listed in the order they go into pot, with what cut all veggies into slightly larger than bite sized pieces, as they will shrink some. Add the garlic as listed so that it flavors all the layers of vegetables. Add the red wine and water just before placing in the meat.

2. When you add the meat, make a few slits into and tuck the slices of garlic into it, then sprinkle the reserved onion and whatever garlic you have left. Sprinkle the meat with the onion and garlic powder, the cayenne and black pepper. Then spread the cream of mushroom soup evenly over the entire roast, and any exposed vegetables. Finally, sprinkle the onion soup mix and add extra black pepper to taste.

3. Cover and cook on high for about 6 hours or overnight 8-10 hours on low.
When done, remove the roast and cut into 8 servings

    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
