This was ok! Not my favorite! Didn't blow me away or anything. Easy though. Followed directions to the T. Except less onion and added carrots to the crockpot.

I just put all indredients in my crockpot and boy does it smell good! :-) So far this is so easy, can't wait to taste it, I think I'll make mashed potatos to go with it to help soak up some gravy, m-m-m. I'll have to let you know how it comes out.

Delicious! I made this as directed and we absolutely loved it. The roast was falling apart tender and the gravy was super. Thanks Shannon for a new family favorite. Made for Photo Tag.

I live in BC, Canada. I am a mommy to Jacob and a wife to Rich. I love that I can stay at home and take care of our house and child, what a blessing! I enjoy cooking (ahem, tagging recipes), photography (usually family, food and scenery - the people on this website have taught me so much!), playing the trumpet, walking and apparently doing laundry - as I do it so often, I must enjoy it. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> Adopted by Chef #59780 <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> Adopted Chef #47510 <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> Adopted by Chef #240552 <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> Adopted Chef #157425 Adopted Chef #526360 Adopted Chef #483668 Adopted Chef #300697 Adopted Chef #278076 <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Octoberevent.jpg"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Other/photo-swap-7sticky.jpg"> Team #13 Chef #224921 Team #13 Chef #296809 Team #13 Chef #43083 <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
