Low Fat CrockPot Beef Roast

This was fast and easy to put together. Bryan and I decided to make this for our Super Bowl dinner that way neither of us would have to spend time in the kitchen and risk missing a moment of the game (or the commercials!) I found this recipe in one of my slow cooker cookbooks. I added celery to the mix and changed up the seasonings a bit. It smelled delicious cooking and I’m sure it would be great for a quick week night meal. The original recipe called for a cooking time of 6 hours on high; however ours was thoroughly cooked after 4.
