Beef Roast


Ingredients:
-------------
Beef roast (make sure it fits your crockpot!)
onion 
spices
optional: potatoes, carrots, sweedes, turnips

Brown the roast on all sides in a little bit of oil.  Place in the crock pot.  
Add an onion, cut in about 6-pieces.  Add spices (we don't use salt--we 
use Mrs Dash garlic & herb, plus some additional garlic and pepper).  
Cover with water.

Sometimes I add a dash of beef bouillon granules.  Set on HIGH. I let this 
simmer away for 5 - 6 hours.  We usually add potatoes (quartered) the last 
60-80 minutes.  Other root veggies should work equally great too.

Now, for the double duty:
-----------------------------
For the leftovers. I slice the roast somewhat thin, and breakup the slices (sort
of shred it), put it in a sauce pan and add barbeque sauce and a little water.
I let this simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.  If it gets too dry 
add more sauce or water.   Serve on rolls.  This is great to take for lunch and 
heat in the microwave at work.
