I use about a cup of beef broth and cook it on low in the crock pot for
about 4 to 5 hours. I put onions, carrots, and potatoes on top of the roast
so that the roast will cook in the broth.

One would think that pot roast would be the easiest meal to cook. I am
considered a good cook, but, for some reason, I can't seem to cook a good
pot roast. I cook the roast in the crock pot and use a 2 to 2 1/2 pound
roast. I'm not sure what cut of meat to use. I've tried rump and
sirloin tip but they were too tough. I finally made a decent one last
week using a cut of meat with the word "round" in it, but threw away the
label before I made a note of it. I've looked at the chuck roast, but
they are all loaded with fat. What cut do you guys use? Thanks.
How much liquid are your using?
How long and at what temperature are you cooking it?
