My Family always ask for their Beef Roast to be fixed this way, in the crock-pot and no mushroom soup, so many in the family won't eat anything with mushrooms in it. So , I came up with fixing it this way and they all loved it.I always save the liquid thats left and freeze it for my Vegetable soup base.
