This makes a nice dinner to come home to, you can use from a 3-pound to a 5-pound roast for this recipe, don't add any extra salt to this recipe, the seasonings have plenty of added salt to them, and 1/3 cup dry red wine can be added if desired. This is a very good recipe for crock pot roast! Servings are only estimated depending on the size of roast you are using. I prefer to use blade roast but you can use any pot roast you desired even a pork butt roast would would with this!
Ingredients:
1 (5 lb) beef roast
2 large onions, sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic (or to taste)

1 pinch cayenne (optional)

1. Place onions and garlic in the bottom of the crock pot, then place the roast on top of them.
2. Place the carrots and potatoes around the roast.
3. In a bowl whisk together the tomato juice with both packages of seasonings, black pepper and cayenne (don't worry if there is lumps, they will work our during the cooking).
4. Pour the mixture over the roast and veggies.
