If I have a pot roast and a slow cooker, how can I combine them to make something edible?!

I would recommend searing the meat in a pan on the stove before putting it in the cooker.

This is the most delicious slow cooker beef roast recipe: Add 1 cup of water to the crock pot. Add 1 envelope each: Brown gravy mix, Good Seasons Italian Dressing, & Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing. Mix this thoroughly and add your beef roast. Cook on high 8 - 10 hours (depending on the size of the roast).

The roast will be succulent, tender, and perfectly seasoned in a delicious gravy. This goes great with whipped red skin potatoes and buttered peas.

Enjoy!

Go to a site called AllRecipes.com; at the top you will see several little tabs on that is labeled ingredients, click it. You are then able to enter the ingredients you have or want or don't want, then choose the small tab below the section where you are to list the ingredients you don't want and you can narrow down your recipe idea search to slow cooker or crock pot and it should pull up some ideas for you. Play with the site, it's easy. Enjoy

Just throw in all in together about 12 hours with some beef gravy. You do not have to precook the beef.

this is a great crock pot blog:

Noooo! No need to cook the roast first. It only adds more work for you!! Here's your perfect recipe.

Ingredients:
- whatever type of beef you have on hand (ideally and maybe for next time, I get a 3 lb rump roast)
- 1 normal size (not family size) can of mushroom soup
- 2 packets of dry onion soup mix (same stuff you make onion dip with)
- 2 cups of hot water
- 3 beef bouillon cubes
- vegetables
- garlic (if you want, but not necessary)
- salt
- pepper

Directions:
1. Cut up whatever vegetables you have on hand. I use potatoes, carrots, onions, and mushrooms. Put in crock pot.
2. Rinse the beef roast.
3. Put in crock pot with vegetables surrounding it.
4. Chop up fresh garlic or use canned garlic (1 tbls. of canned garlic = 1 fresh clove of garlic)
5. Mix 3 beef bouillon cubes and 2 cups of hot water on stove.
6. Mix 2 cups of just made beef broth with 1 can of mushroom soup and 1 packet of dry onion soup mix.
7. Pour over beef roast and vegetables.
8. Sprinkle second dry onion soup mix over onto beef roast
9. Cook on Low for 7-8 hours or High 5-6 hours (Start checking roast at either the 7th hour or 5th hour. If you can't check it, don't worry. Nothing will over-cook unless you double the cooking time or something, in which case it would burn. But if you can't get it until the 8th or 6th hour depending on which setting you choose, don't worry. It'll just "melt in your mouth" more!!)
10. Mix about 1/2 tbls. salt and 1/2 tbls. pepper in roast and vegetables before removing from crock pot and serving.

Note: If you don't have dry onion soup, you can omit that. Do not omit beef broth (beef bouillon and water) or mushroom soup in this recipe.

Hope it turns out wonderful!! :)
