Crock-Pot Beef Roast
I've put together a few different recipes to come up with something our family likes. Hope you enjoy it too! I usually cut my potatoes into eighths unless they are small potatoes. Using the crockpot on a low setting makes the meat so much more tender. I have a 6 quart crockpot, so I can fit a lot into it.
