I got a really cheap roast (arm roast), and was at loss what to do....but found this off allrecipes.com..can't claim ownership...but can claim yumminess
1 cheap roast 3-4 pounds
1 envelope of onion soup mix
1/3 cup of soy sauce
water to almost cover roast....lots of pepper on part of roast sticking out.
cook low for 20, hours...yep...set it up before you go to bed and it will be yummy tender for dinner the next day.
lots of extra juice.
I pulled the meat, and added BBQ for sands, made flour taco's with meat, and did just plain with rice(from the rice cooker) and microwaved vegis! Yummy and cheap, and oh so easy
