Recently, I had a lot of requests for crock-pot recipes; so get ready – they are definitely coming your way! Sometimes when I don’t feel like cooking or when I have a ton of housework, I like to pull out my crock-pot. When kids were still babies and I used to work outside of the home, crock-pot was my best friend. We would come home to an amazing dinner that only took me 5 minutes to prepare.
This beef roast can be served with mashed potatoes, in sandwiches or quesadillas. The next day we used it in Quick Cheesy Tortilla Pockets. It made a perfect quick lunch.
I would recommend leaving the crock-pot in the garage or a balcony, so the house doesn’t smell like a beef roast, even though the smell of beef roast is quite heavenly.

Do I have to change anything if I want to leave out the mushrooms?
No, you can just leave them out. Hope you love it!
Which setting on the crockpot low or high?
I cooked on low but my crockpot is with higher cooking pressure. You can play with both temperatures and see what you prefer, I think high would work good in a normal crockpot.
What part of the beef is it?
This is a beef roast, I didn't even pay attention of what cut it was. Usually stores would have it marked as beef roast.
What role does marsala wine play here? Can I substitute it? Thanks!
Marsala wine add great flavor to the beef, you can omit or replace it with another one of your favorite wines.
Thank you!
