This slow-cooker pot roast recipe comes from the blog of a family friend and is similar to a pot roast recipe from Paula Deen. The crucial thing about this recipe is that it needs to be cooked on LOW for 8-10 hours. Do not try to rush it by turning up the crock pot heat, it will turn out tough. Slow cooking is the key for that tender, fall-apart texture that really makes a good pot roast!
