My mother in law makes a mean roast. This is a crock pot version of hers which will have you begging for more!

Directions

  1. 1
    Using a sharp, thin knife (like a boning knife), create deep holes in the meat, inserting the quartered pieces of garlic and bacon.

    You can substitute a pork sirloin roast for the beef too, mmmmm.

    All I can say is yummy! My family loved it, such good flavors. I put a beef and a pork roast together in the same crock pot. I will make this over and over again. Thanks Canarygiry!!!!

    Canarygirl, this one ought to be number one in place of my "To Die For" roast! I had people over for dinner and we all devored this! I don't have a motar and pestle, so I used a fork and a bowl and a little elbow grease and it worked fine! I didn't think my paprika was "smoky" enough so I added a dash of liquid smoke. All of the spices and seasonings produce a very exotic tasting roast! I can't wait for lunch...there was just enough meat left over for a sandwhich!

    This is so good and so easy to prepare. I didn't have any thyme, so I left it out. The next time I will cut back on the paprika - it was pretty strong tasting for me. When the roast was done, I added some beef broth to the juices and thickened it with flour and water which made the most wonderful tasting gravy. Overall, a great recipe!
