Is there a way to cook a venison roast in a crockpot w/o teh cream of mushroom soup?

We've done that the last few times and I am looking for something different. Could I throw in the roast, add a can of beef broth (maybe 2) and then add potatos, carrots, celery, bit of garlic, onions, etc... along with the seasonings on top of the roast?
