Ingredients

3    pound    beef chuck roast ( 3-4 pound )
5    tablespoons    garlic ( 5-7 cloves garlic (smashed with knife) )
5    onions ( (peeled) )
2    carrots ( (peeled) )
2    potatoes ( (cubed) )
1    teaspoon    salt
1    teaspoon    oregano
1    teaspoon    dried basil
1    teaspoon    rosemary
3/4    cup    water

Directions

Lightly oil the crock pot. Pat the roast dry with paper towels and place in crock pot. In a small bowl mix the salt and dried herbs. Sprinkle herb mixture over pot roast. Use a large knife turned flat and smash the garlic cloves, then peel. (The smashed garlic releases the most health benefits for your dish.) Add garlic to the pot roast. Add the onions whole. Cut the carrots into 2-inch lengths and add. Add the potatoes. Add the water. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until the meat is fall apart tender. When storing the roast I always save the juice in it's own dish. Once refrigerated the fat can be removed from the juice and when reheated it makes an excellent sauce for the roast.
