Easy Crock Pot Roast

I found this recipe from website,  http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1712,145190-253207,00.html. It is a really easy and great recipe. I invited my friends to our home last night and cook for them.  I cook a lot of dishes from my blog but I decided to try this recipe. I'm not successful cooking beef so my husband though that it was a bad idea trying something new for my dinner party. He enjoyed the most. Everyone loved it. The meat was tender and juicy. Other than this beef dish my menu was Turkish meatballs with tomato sauce, hummus, Avocado bean salad,   Spinach borek, Lentil kofte, Amazing carrot cake,  roasted red bell pepper and cream cheese dip, carrot salad with garlic yogurt, Ground turkey borek, Fruit salad.
