Yes, to what @imallears wrote. I am best friends with my crock pot and like to use "Better than Bouillion" for the broth. It comes in all flavors...beef, chicken, veggie, pork, condensed in a small jar and kept in frig, add tablespoons to taste to dissolve in water, then add whatever veggies and seasonings you prefer.

Mrs. Dash, a mix of herbs, is a good base seasoning to start with for me because it doesn't have salt and the B & B contains enough for my taste.

@jakedduck1, I sometimes put in the potato chunks and carrots first because they are denser; then the meat; topped with onions, celery and faster cooking veggies.

Oh, hecky darn, Leonard, now I'm wanting to make a crock pot roast but simply can't waste a minute of nice weather in the yard to drive to the grocery. If you would run the errand for me, I'd be happy to serve you a TX style pot roast dinner with a slice of warmed dutch apple pie topped with a bit of shredded cheese and vanilla ice cream. If available come soon because we know it takes hours for the crock pot savoryto be ready for dinner.
