How to make it
- Drizzle roast with EVOO
- Rub in meat tenderizer and garlic pepper
- Put in slow cooker
- Generously drizzle with worcestershire
- Sprinkle with dry mix
- Add veggies
- Dot 3 T butter over all
- Mix soup with 1 or 2 cans water and pour over
- Add water to just cover if needed, maybe 1 more can depending on the size of your roast and how it fits in the crockpot
- Cook on low - med. all day, depending on your cooker
- * This calls for a little more water than some recipes because it's needed for cooking the veggies. I put my potatoes in first, then carrots, so they cook thoroughly. You can microwave them for about 8 or 10 minutes first to give them a head start.
- *My cooker comes off of the base, and I can place it on the stove eye 20 minutes before serving if the veggies need it, and can also bring it to a boil, stir a heaping teaspon into a small amount of cold water in a cup, then stir into the roast to thicken. You may need to transfer all the juice to a stovetop pot to thicken.
- ** If my roast is frozen, I simply put it in the cooker and sprinkle with the first seasonings instead of rubbing them in, then follow through the other steps, using a little less water. Set cooker on medium. It browns just fine, and is very tender! Does need more thickening that way, though.
