roast beef very good my mom makes it alot
MMM - corned beef! Take about a 3-4 lb flat cut of it (trim the excess fat) and 1/4 c of brown sugar, put it into the crock pot and then pour in a big bottle of guinness, cook on low 6-8 hours. This ALWAYS comes out great and makes the best reubens or corn beef hash the next day!
I love making roasts. You could do a pork roast or a beef roast. There are so many different recipe's online. Yummy ones. :)
With beef roasts, we usually put carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery in the crock pot w/ the roast. Gives it lots of flavor.
Good luck!
Crockpot barbecue chicken

1 can jellied cranberry sauce
1 envelope onion soup mix

My favorite and easy crock pot recipe is for Pot Roast!!
You can use almost any cut of meat, but if you choose to use a lean cut, you must add water.
You can brown the meat if you want, but I am lazy so I just throw it all in the crckpot:
1 Beef Roast (2-4 pounds)
1 Envelope of Onion Soup Mix
1 can Cream of Mushroom
optional mushrooms
optional 1 cup of red wine (any)
Sprinkle onion soup mix on top of roast. Top that with the mushroom soup. Add the optional ingredients if you like.
Sometimes I add real diced onions or garlic or potatoes, you get the picture....
Make sure to adjust the onion soup mix as to not make your dish too salty. Better too little than too much as you can always add more later.
If you are using a lean cut of meat like top/bottom round (aka london broil), be sure to add water so that it doesn't dry out.
This recipe makes its own gravy!! If you want to thicken it, make a roux (I do mine in the microwave. 2 tablespoons of better and 2 tablespoons of flour on high for two minutes, being sure to mix it thoroughly after the first 30 seconds) and add to the crockpot.
Cover and cook on low.
