This roast and the gravy turned out excellent! I modified to work with my 3-1/4 lb. rump roast, trimmed, and cut in half. I used my oval 4-qt. slow cooker. I only used 2 Tbsp total of the vinegar: 1 Tbsp to rub on roast and 1 Tbsp added to the soup mixture. I used 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp pepper. After browning, I placed
1-1/2 tsp. minced garlic and 2 bay leaves on the roast, and used a medium onion, sliced. I kept all other ingredients at the recipe's measurements. After 8 hours, I kept the roast in the cooker, added the cornstarch and water, and turned the cooker on high. After 20 minutes I removed the roast and set it aside, covered with tin foil. The gravy cooked for about 10 more minutes. All was good! -Lori in WI.

The gravy from this pot roast is so flavorful, I love to serve it with mashed potatoes topped with butter and the gravy.

I'd like to have the recipe for the "tasty sandwich spread" made you make from the leftovers!

You cut the roast in half because this a slow cooker recipe and it's a food safety issue. Slow cookers/crock pots reccommend you cut large roasts (usually over 3 pounds) in half otherwise the meat doesn't reach the safe temperature zone quickly enough and bacteria can spread.

To chicagomom1: I also need to avoid corn, so I substitute arrowroot powder. I have not tried it in this particular recipe, but it always works.
