I love to rub my chuck roast down with chili powder, montreal steak seasoning, parsley flakes, garlic powder, and a little dash of sugar and salt. I then put wedged new potatoes and baby carrots in on top so they can absorb all the juices. I let it cook allll day. :)

There are a zillion crock pot recipes to be found here, varying from awful to fabulous. The main thing is, there are a LOT of them.

This one, from that site, is my favorite crock pot recipe. It's really, really delicious:

Crock Pot Chicken & Artichoke Casserole

Salt, to taste

mmm..that sounds reallly good. yep, we have all those ingredients too :)

wait...

[melaniesayshi]

tapioca? is it just for texture or do the balls keep their shape?

Re: wait...

It's tapioca that comes in a box, sort of granular -- NOT pearl tapioca. It gives body to the juices/sauce.
