I grew up on a farm, and we ate beef often. I was so pleased to find this recipe 15 years ago, since it gives pot roast a new mouthwatering flavor. I'm always looking for no-fuss delicious meals, and this slow-cooked supper is definitely one of them.—Erica Warkentin, Dundas, Ontario

excellent recipe. tip: if you sllice it while

hard," after 1&1/2 hours, it will be easier to slice; then add sliced back into the pot for the rest of the cooking.

This is by far one of the best pot roast recipes I've ever tried. I made the recipe exactly as the directions say without any substitutions. This was delicious and so easy! We love slow cooker recipes and this is now one of our favorites. I'm sure the leftover roast will make a delicious sandwich tomorrow!

This is such an unusual-looking beef recipe that I almost passed it over, but since I had all the ingredients on hand and was in a hurry, I figured I'd give it a try... and I am SO glad I did. It has become our family's favorite slow-cooker beef recipe. The flavor of everything is fantastic and the meat comes out tender every time. Love it!
