Notes: -This recipe is an altered version of the Crock Pot Italian Pot Roast from Gooseberry Patch's Busy-Day Slow Cooking.
-Roasts get tender with time. If your roast isn't as tender as you would like, cook it a little longer. Our 5 lb roast was fall apart tender after 8-9 hours.
-We have used just about all of our 6 qt slow cookers to make this at one time or another, but Mikey made this in our One Hand Cook and Carry Crock Pot because he wanted to take it in to work for his co-workers.
-If you don't like mushrooms, you can leave them out.
-We LOVE baby bellas in this recipe, but white buttons will work too. Canned mushrooms (drained) could also work in a pinch.
-As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
-All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
