Low-Fat Crock-Pot Roast

Made this today. It was so easy and made the house smell wonderful!! I made a few changes which I'll note...

Low-Fat Crock-Pot Roast

Ingredients:
3-pound boneless beef roast (I used a cross-rib roast, I believe it was called.)
4 carrots, cut into 2" pieces (My kids *love* carrots, so next time I'll use more.)
4 potatoes, cut into quarters
2 onions, quartered (I used one large yellow onion and it was sufficient.)
1 C fat-free, low sodium beef broth (I didn't have beef so I used vegetable broth and it was still yummy!)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Mrs. Dash seasoning (I don't have this so I used extra of the other spices.)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions:

1. Place roast in slow cooker.
2. Add carrots around edges, pushing them down so they reach the bottom of the cooker.
3. Add potatoes and onions.
4. Mix together broth and seasonings and pour over roast.
5. Cover. Cook on low 10 hours or on high 6 hours.

Note: You may brown the roast in a nonstick skillet on all sides before placing in cooker for added flavor.
