Pot Roast with Potatoes & Carrots in the slow cooker

I have had my fill of chicken for the moment...  so we are having Beef tonight!  In our house beef is a special meal as #1 it isn't cheap and #2 we try VERY hard never to buy it in the grocery store.  We purchase our beef from an uncle who raises them on grass with out any hormones and other harmful to human things.  So we try to stretch our beef out over a full year, otherwise when it's gone... (shudder) it's gone!  ;)  But that is just us, and to each his own (right?!).  I'll try to get more of a variety up on here so that you can eat more than just chicken too!

So, dinner tonight...  Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots.  YUM!!  This is one of my favorite dishes.  Plus it's soooo easy, yet the end result is so good that I will usually eat myself into a stomach ache - lol!

4-6 pound bottom round rump roast, chuck roast, or other TOUGH cut of beef.  (tough meats do best for all day slow cookers, tender meats tend to get more tough the longer they cook)
10 medium size potatoes, cut into approximate 1 1/2 - 2 inch cubes (russet, Yukon gold, red, yellow, it doesn't matter, what ever you like best!)
12 (or so) carrots, cut into larger chunks (I usually buy the larger ones, just add as many as you think you will enjoy)
3 tablespoons Italian seasoning (GF)
2 tablespoons dried diced onion
4 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 tablespoons Oregano
1 tablespoon celery salt
2 cups hot water

Put the frozen beef into slow cooker.  In a medium bowl combing water, seasonings and spices; pour over beef.  Cover and cook on High for 3-4 hours.  Wash and cut up the potatoes (I leave the skins on) and add them into the slow cooker.  Peel carrots and cut up, add into slow cooker.  Cover and continue to cook on high for another 2-4 hours, until meet is cooked through and tender (falling apart when you try to pick it up) and veggies are tender.   You can opt to put the veggies in at the very beginning if you are not going to be home.  I have done that before, but the veggies tend to get mushy (they are still tasty, but my kiddos really don't like them mushy, so I try to put the veggies in later so they are soft and tender).
