Simple Crock Pot Roast

Any type of roast will work, even the cheap pieces of meat. I like pepper, so the rub may be too peppery for some people. Just reduce the amount of pepper used if you are not a pepper fan. The rub amount in this recipe is for a small to medium roast. If you have a large roast, just double the spice ingredients.


Ingredients


1 Roast - any size that will fit in your crock-pot
1 1/2 cups beef broth (use two cups broth for larger roast)
1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon crushed rosemary
1 teaspoon sage


Directions
Trim excess fat from roast. Place roast and broth in crock-pot. In a small bowl, combine all spice ingredients. Rub top and sides of roast with rub. Follow cooking temperatures below. Once roast is done cooking, the broth can be poured into a sauce pan to make delicious gravy.


You can also add whole medium size potatoes that have been washed and stabbed with a forked into the broth. Do not cut into small pieces or the potatoes will be mushy after 8 hour of cooking.


Crock-pot settings:


1. If starting crock pot early a.m., (before work for instance) turn crock-pot on medium heat and allow roast to cook a minimum of 8.5 hours or more.


2. If starting roast mid-morning, turn crock-pot on high for one hour then reduce heat to medium and cook for 8.5 hours or more.
