in the crock pot onions spices potatoes carrots turnips

Brown the roast(s) on all sides in a little bit of oil. Place in the crock pot. Add an onion, cut in about 6 8 pieces. Add spices (we don't use salt we add Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb, plus some additional garlic and pepper). Cover with water. Sometimes I add a dash of beef boullion granules. Set on high. I let this simmer away for about 5 6 hours. We usually add potatoes (quartered) the last 60 80 minutes. Other root veggies work great too.

Now, for the DOUBLE DUTY: For the leftovers, I slice the roast somewhat thin, and breakup up the slices (sort of shred it), put it in a saucepan and add barbecue sauce and a little water. I let this simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If it gets too dry add more
