Slow Cookers Savory Pot Roast

Savory aromas entice you as this easy meal-in-one gently simmers in the slow cooker.  Later, you can enjoy a hearty, full-flavored family meal.  Choose a boneless chuck roast for the richest taste or a rump roast if you prefer lower fat.

3 pounds boneless beef chuck or rump bottom round roast, well trimmed
5 cups cut-up fresh vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions and potatoes
1 package McCormick® Slow Cookers Savory Pot Roast Seasoning
1 cup red wine or water

1.  Place roast and vegetables in slow cooker.

2.  Mix Seasoning and red wine until blended.  Pour over roast and vegetables.  Cover.
