Here's how to cook a roast in the crockpot that tastes great! The measures are all approximate.
Cajun Roast Beef
Take one chuck roast and sauté in a little olive oil on both sides. Cut 1/2 inch deep slits in the roast and poke in a slice of a clove of garlic, maybe five cloves. Place in the bottom of your crockpot. Add 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 box beef broth, 1/2 cup red wine, 1 sliced onion, 1 sliced green pepper, 1-2 stalks celery. Add 3 bay leaves, 1 tsp thyme, a pinch of cayenne--maybe 1/4 - 1/2 tsp., 1 tsp salt and pepper to taste. Cook 10 hours on low or 5 1/2 hours on high, until meat is falling apart.
Serve on crusty French rolls, putting roast beef and gravy on each. If you'd rather just have roast, microwave some baby carrots and potatoes and put those in at the very end.
I gorontee it!
