I do two.  This is a fav:

Mushroom Roast

Rump  or Sirloin Tip (I do 5 lbs)

2 Cans mushroom soup

2 Pkg Lipton Dry Onion Soup packets

2 tsp. Thyme

2 Tbsp. parsley

2 Tbsp. Steak sauce

2 Tbsp.Worcestershire sauce

Cut off fat and place roast in deep casserole.

Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over.

Cover as tightly as possible.

Bake at 325 degrees 3 hrs.

You may need to thicken the gravy if the roast has a lot of juices.

Everything will be diluted with broth from the roast.  Since gravy is used sparingly, the sodium isn't very high.

Pot Roast

Beef chuck roast

2 cans tomato soup

2 onions, sliced into very thick rounds  and separated

5 carrots cut into sticks

4 medium size russet potatoes peeled and slices into 1/4 thick circles.

Put roast into a crock pot  sprayed.  Add vegies, pour tomato soup over and 1/2 can water.  

Cook 5 hrs on low or 350 oven for 2 1/2 - 3 hrs.  I would add garlic but DH can't tolerate it.

I have used many types roasts but my fave, I think, is a chuck roast----I LOVE a good pot roast dinner and that cut, while less pricey, is the most flavorful. the others have less fat on them and always are too dry---I do trim the excess fat from the chuck but mostly leave it and then strain the fat off after it is cooked for gravy. Geez---now I want a pot roast  dinner!!!!

Beef rump is my favorite.  Although I like all other roasts so I mix it up.  I also like pork roasts.

I dont have a specific recipe I just throw a roast in my slow cooker, add whatever seasoning I happen to pick that day,  potatoes, onions, frozen veggies (whatever I have), sometimes tomatoes sometimes mushroom soup or celery soup.

With beef I use boullion cubes and with pork I use vegetable cubes.  Makes the juice so much more rich and yummy.

Boston butt pork roast with Dr Pepper, quartered onions, chipotle peppers and brown sugar in a covered dutch oven, 300 for about 5 hours.

I use a Chuck Roast for just about everything.  This is my favorite recipe.

Crock Pot Beef Stew

2 lb of Chuck Roast cut in 1 inch cubes (or smaller) and trimmed of fat.  (I've also used the packaged stew meat if I find it on sale at a great price)

1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes

1 Large Onion (chopped)

1 Bag of round crinkle cut carrots

20 mini potatoes (I use red potatoes or a small bag of the small tri-colored potatoes)

1 Cup Frozen Peas

3 cups Sodium Reduced Beef Broth

1/2 C All Purpose Flour

1.5 t Italian Seasoning

2 Bay Leaves

1/4 t Salt

1/4 t Ground Black Pepper 

Throw everything in the crockpot EXCEPT for the peas, flour and 1/2 C of the beef broth.  Cook on Low for 8 - 10 hours.  About 20 minutes before serving, whisk the 1/2 C of beef broth and flour and add that mixture plus the frozen peas. Remove the Bay Leaves and serve.

The original recipe called for 2 Ribs of Chopped celery but I only eat raw celery so I don't add it.  You can also brown your beef first before adding it in the crock pot but I never have done that.

I love a rump roast with big chunks of sweet onions, rough cut mushrooms, garlic, a can of beef broth, and some red wine.

Red Top could you share the recipe? Would it work in a slow cooker?
I would like to try yours.

Round roast surrounded by lots of spices & herbs, smothered in beef stock, raspberry Seasons Taproom vinegar & EVOO, sherry, 1 diced onion.  Cooked in the crock pot - on low overnight; served for next day's lunch.

Usually accompanied with mashed Yukon golds.

Spices & herbs: S&P, bay leaf, oregano, turmeric, garlic powder, rosemary, Carribean jerk -- I'm sure I'm leaving something out....

I don't cook by recipes; I cook by what I have on hand, and what we like.   I don't own a crock pot.  

I just put all the ingredients in my dutch oven and ignore it for 5 hours, then shred.  

I use at least 3 cans of Dr Pepper or Coke, as many quartered onions as I want, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 2 chipotle peppers with a good heaping spoonful of adobo sauce.  Leave the peppers out if you don't want spicy pork.

Thank you. I am going to try it!
