I made this recipe several times using the meat called for in the recipe. Turned out dry. so, the 3 stars mean I used a boneless chuck roast, which cooked up tender and moist. I did add the carrots and it turned out great. My husband said this way is better.

    This was very good. I added extra italian seasoning because we like our food well seasoned. Also added approx. 1/4 cup water...just in case. The gravy was awesome. I mixed in some wondra to thicken it a bit more. Served over egg noodles for dinner and lunch! Had a small bit left over and served it for breakfast with a fried egg on top. I'd make this again and it's a great recipe to experiment with. I think a can of rotel tomatoes would be a nice addition too. Thanks!

    Well, I have to admit, I was skeptical to try this one. I'm not usually a crock pot fan...and hubby has been traumatized by many a rotten crock pot meal as a kid...so he fears them even more than I do. With that said, this was AMAZING. The flavor was excellent, and the texture of the meat was to DIE for. We didn't even need a kife. I will definitley make this one again. Thanks for sharing!

    This was a good roast, very tender. Next time I will probably add some Italian spices in addition to the Italian salad dressing mix for a little more flavor, but I did enjoy it though. Thank you for sharing.
