  1. This has to be the best tasting roast I have ever made! I was a little leery at first at the quantity of onions ... but they were simply delicious, and the sauce was very tasty. Thanks for posting a great recipe--I will make this again & again! -M :)
     
  2. Great flavor! Both the onions and the meat melt in your mouth! Will definately make this one again.
     
  3. A very good slow cooker roast. Before I put the beef in the slow cooker, I made 4 or 5 slits in the roast and stuffed sliced garlic in them. The juices produced from the recipe are very light. Not a heavy, thick gravy. It tasted good.
     
  4. Well, first let me say, there was no way this was going to fit into my 3 1/2 qt crockpot. I made it fit using less onions. Next time I will use a 2 pound roast and the 6 onions. And there will definitely be a next time! :) I also broke into my stashed 6-pack of gluten-free beer to make this recipe gluten-free. My stash is precious to me because I can't get Bi-Aglut here in the states. (I hand-carried it back from Denmark!) This recipe was worth it!
     
  5. I had to stomp my roast into the crock due to all the onions...but I did it. LOL Next time I'll not break the rings apart when I put them into the crock. Anyway, this had a great flavor and well worth all 6 onions. Thanks Mark.

  1. I think I was let down by my choice of beef broth... I made it using stock cubes instead of true broth. The juices of this just didn't taste authentic. The meat was lovely and tender, though.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite. Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
