Actually, I ran this morning and did some weight work, so I don't feel bad about making this for dinner tomorrow:

My oven roasts have never turned out so I always throw them in the crockpot. But tomorrow is the day I learn to make a proper roast, with country gravy and everything. :yay:

Same here. I rarely make a roast in the oven for that reason. I do it on the rotisserie and use can gravey. Yeah, I know, I hate canned gravey too, but I've never learned the trick of getting an oven roast right.

Well this gal makes it look really easy, so we'll see what happens.

I use the same cut but cook it in a dutch oven on the stove top. Brown it just like she does but after I brown it, I put a little water in the pan, cover the roast with horseradish and then after it cooks for a while, I put fresh carrots, quartered vidalia onions and potatoes in with the roast. Sometimes I make gravy and sometimes I use jarred gravy.

That gravy looks really good, thinking I'll try it soon. Let us know how it turns out tomorrow.

I always make my roasts (beef or pork) in the crockpot also. Now I see why my roast beef doesn't come out so great in the oven - because I like to use top or bottom round. Crockpot gravy is so easy. By the time I spice up my roasts all I need to do is bring the liquid from the crockpot to a boil and add some cornstarch to thicken it up.

Actually, today is a great day for some crockpot cooking!
