Creative Crockpot Cooking

I've tried many different things with a roast in the crock pot now. One of the best and simplest that I can always go back to is rubbing it with olive oil, and fresh herbs; such as rosemary, oregano, mint, and thyme. I also add a little freshly cracked peppercorn, kosher salt, and a bit of minced garlic. With some potatoes and other vegetables thrown in and some rice on the side it works nicely.
