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.

I'll get it started as soon as you let me know your on your way.

I'd listen to anything T.G or Mr B have to say. I've experienced some of their food offerings and listened to them speak passionately about cooking and I am always impressed with the two of them and their creations.

I would stuff some garlic cloves in it. Coat all sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and brown heavily. Once brown, put 1 oz. of red wine, balsamic vinegar, port or Marsala wine and cook at 200 until done. If you want potatoes mushrooms or onions, add them on the last 40 minutes or so.

Oh yes, cook in dutch oven covered...

TG's has my vote.
I have also been known to take a roast and cook it with beef broth, onions and garlic. Then shred the meat up dump the broth and through the meat, onions and garlic back in the crock pot for a few hours with bbq sauce to make some easy and quick bbq beef. Not as good as what comes out of the smoker but works in a pinch when the snow is flying.
