either that or i cube up the roast.. dip it in flour and brown it up ina frying pan. Then i put it in the crock pot with 1.5 cups eachof burgandy and chablis and then add 2 cups of water. Then i slice up onion, mushrooms, baby carrots, and potatos. I add a touch of ketchup and worcestershire sauce. and then it cook for 6 hours.
