I use a VPN and an ad blocker .... which causes some sites to "spit up"

cry over the VPN - I have to disable the VPN until the page starts to
load the re-enable it.

What cut of beef is your roast? If it's chuck I can recommend this one:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: 3-Envelope Crockpot Roast (Without The Envelopes)
Categories: Five, Beef, Herbs
     Yield: 8 Servings

     3 lb Chuck roast; trimmed
     3 tb Ranch dressing mix; (below)
     2 tb Gravy mix; (below)
     2 tb Italian dressing mix;(below)
     2 c  Water

MMMMM---------------------RANCH DRESSING MIX--------------------------
   1/3 c  Dry buttermilk powder
     3 tb Parsley flakes
 2 1/2 ts Garlic powder
 2 1/2 ts Onion powder
     2 ts Dried minced onion
     2 ts Dried dill weed
 1 1/2 ts Kosher salt
          +=OR=+
     1 ts Salt
     1 ts Black pepper

MMMMM-------------------------GRAVY MIX------------------------------
     3 tb Beef bouillon granules
     1 ts Onion powder
     1 ts Garlic powder
   1/2 ts Thyme
   1/2 ts Pepper
   1/2 c  Flour

MMMMM--------------------ITALIAN DRESSING MIX-------------------------
     1 tb Garlic powder
     1 tb Onion powder
     1 tb Sugar
     2 tb Oregano
   1/4 ts Thyme
     1 ts Basil
     1 tb Dried parsley
     2 tb Salt

 In a pan, heat 2 tsp of oil over medium-high heat. Brown
 the roast on each side for 5 minutes. This step is not
 mandatory but it does make the roast taste better!

 Add the browned roast to the slow cooker.

 In a bowl whisk the water together with the 3 mixes.
 Pour the mixture over the roast.

 Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours (depending on your
 slow cooker). You’ll know the roast is done if you can
 shred it easily.

 RANCH DRESSING MIX: Run all the ingredients through a
 blender or food processor. Pulse about 10 times until
 all the granules are the same consistency. Store in an
 airtight container. To make ranch dressing whisk
 together 3 tb of ranch mix, 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup
 milk until smooth. Refrigerate for half hour before
 serving.

 GRAVY MIX: Run all the ingredients through a blender or
 food processor. Pulse about 10 times until all the
 granules are the same consistency. Store in an airtight
 container. To make gravy, mix 1/4 cup of mix with 2 cups
 of milk or water in a saucepan. Whisk over medium heat
 until smooth and it thickens.

 ITALIAN DRESSING MIX: Run all the ingredients through a
 blender or food processor. Pulse about 10 times until
 all the granules are the same consistency. Store in an
 airtight container. To make Italian dressing mix
 together 1/4 cup cinder vinegar, 2/3 cup olive oil, 2
 tb water and 2 tb mix. Store in the refrigerator.

 UDD NOTES: This works perfectly in my 6 qt casserole
 crockpot. I have now made up the "dry-mix" stuff above
 but for the first go I used up some Ranch Dressing Mix
 and Knorr Brown Gravy mix I had on hand. And used 2
 cups of creamy Italian Dressing from a bottle in my
 ice box in place of the water.

 This is a *VERY* forgiving/flexible recipe.
