4 medium potatoes, quartered
2 onions, quartered
2 cups carrots, cut up
2 stalks celery, cut up
Put that stuff in the crock pot.
Pan brown a 2 1/2 to 3 pound chuck roast, salt and pepper it, lay on top of vegetables in crock pot.
Combine:
1 can beef broth
2 cloves garlic minced
1 TBSP dried parsley
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
Pour over meat, put on lid, cook on high for 5 hours. (I would guess on low for 10-12 hours optional)
Remove meat and vegetables. Mix 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup water well, add a shot of Gravy Master. Pour this into the liquid still in the crock pot while stirring. Cover and leave on high another half hour.
Pig out.

I am making the same thing tonight. Although I just used Lipton onion soup mix and cream of mushroom soup. Yours sounds better.

Mrs RC made that over the weekend. Yum.

Gravy Master?

It's some brown salty stuff you add to gravy, gives it some deeper color and a little flavor. They sell it in the gravy section at the supermarket.

Thats one of the best bases for a Dutch Oven roast, ever (works in any roast/crock pot recipe). I've tried other onion soup mixes, but Lipton is the best.
Instead of the Gravy Master, I use 1-2 beef bullion cubes.

Gravy Master is probably very similar to Kitchen Bouquet...

One thing I like to do is to remove the roast when the meat thermometer says "medium," put it in the fridge for an hour or two, and then add it back to the crock pot to warm up. It firms the meat up for slicing, but then leaves it even more tender to actually eat.
Alton Brown showed that trick on "Good Eats" on the Food Network.

They sit right next to each other on the shelf at Hannaford.
