Is this hand shucked?

A few weeks ago, my boyfriend acquired a crockpot... which has enabled us to try new recipes and have fun with recipes!

We are both huge fans of A-1 steak sauce, so, a recipe on the back of their bottle seemed like a great idea.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast

1/2 cup A-1 original steak sauce

1/2 cup water

1 pkg onion-mushroom soup mix

1 boneless beef chuck-eye roast (2-2.5 lbs)

1 pkg baby carrots

1 lb. baby red potatoes

1 onion, diced

Mix the steak sauce, water, and onion-mushroom soup mix.  Place meat in the slow cooker.  Top it with the carrots and potatoes and onions.  Pour the sauce over.  Cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 6-7.

The recipe came out great.  We both enjoyed it greatly.  That being said, here are a few tips and suggestions: 

• To make this recipe healthier, I wouldn't use the onion-mushroom soup mix.  In it's place, I would season the beef with salt and pepper.  I'm sure you can add other spices such as garlic powder.
• You don't have to use baby red potatoes - if you use a larger potato, quarter them.
• I used a vidalia onion for it's taste.
• I would consider throwing in a few cloves of garlic and pouring a 1/2 cup of red wine.

If you have any suggestions - please feel free to comment! Look forward to reading them :)
