3 lb. roast (cheapest cut), trimmed of all fat
3 med. potatoes (quartered)
1 cup baby carrots
3 tbsp. dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp. rosemary
1/2 tsp. thyme
salt & pepper
1 1/2 cups beef broth

Arrange potatoes and carrots around edge of crockpot. Mix mustard & spices and rub all over beef. Place beef in crockpot (will overlap veggies). Pour beef broth evenly over the top. Cook on low for 9 hours.

At wal mart in the microwave section is a CD called 'One Million Recipies' Not sure if it has THAT many, but it has sections from kids and no bake recipies to diabetic and crock-pot. You can print them out, if you'd like..Very fun and informative.

Place all ingredients in lightly greased crock pot. Stir well and cook on low 4-5 hours. Can be cooked on high but the result is poor. Serve with sour cream, diced onion and shredded cheese. Also good with cornbread. Try serving the chili over a slice for a change.
