I wanted to make a pot roast in the crock pot and I usually make http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/potatoes/country-pot-roast-by-freda.html But I am trying to stay away from most packaged foods, so this is what I came up with and I LOVE it. Add more or less of any ingredient. I just added a couple shakes of this and some grinds of that. LOL
