Review of last recipe - Chocolate Cheesecake (photo above) - Just too chocolate-y ... guess I'm not such a chocolate fan after all.  It was very good, but too much chocolate for my taste.  Even with the whipped cream, there wasn't enough contrast in flavors

TODAY'S RECIPE - HERBED BOTTOM ROUND ROAST
A crock pot recipe from Star Market; a local grocery store.

Serves 8

4-5 lb bottom round roast, flour, salt, pepper, oil
2 celery stalks with leaves, sliced
2 medium onions, sliced
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp rosemary
water or beef broth

Dust roast with flour, then brown in oil on all sides in a skillet.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Place roast on a rack in a crockpot and top with onions and celery.  Add herbs to 1/2 cup water or stock and pour over and around meat.

Cover and cook over low heat until fork tender; approximately 3 hours.  Add more liquid as needed.  Make gravy from drippings, if desired.
