Made this yesterday and my husband loved it. He said it was the best pot roast he's ever had! I like that it has some unique and flavors that you don't find in your traditional roast. I used brown sugar instead of maple syrup and Ancho chili powder instead of the regular stuff. I also added a pinch of a Penzy's spice called "Arizona Dreamin". I served the roast and veggies with Pillsbury "Southern Style" biscuits. It was quite yummy, and will use the leftover beef for Asian Beef salad, empanadas and french dip sammies.

I've made this a couple of times now and I love it! I have used tomato sauce as well with it, and I actually like it a little better then the chunks! Worth trying!

If I could give it "0" stars I would. What a waste of ingredients! I followed the recipe as written and had to end up throwing everything away because no one wanted to eat it again. If you love a "typical" beef roast DO NOT try this recipe

A very unusual taste for a roast but this was absolutely delicious. I do not think it was too sweet at all; I think the flavors blended beautifully and made the perfect sauce. I was worried that this would be dry without adding any juice or broth but lo and behold -- when the timer was done everything was perfect. My favorite beef stew recipe is Nigella Lawson's Comforting Beef Casserole; however; it takes a bit more work browning all the beef and sauteing the veggies. This recipe, however, is so fast and easy to put together. It's 123 and you're done! Love that! I also believe that it's healthier because it doesn't have all the gooey (albeit yummy buttery sauce etc. I will definitely make this again and again.

This was good, however next time I will probably only add 1/4 cup of maple syrup. I thought it was a little too sweet. I would definitely make this recipe again though with just a little less syrup.

I usually don't like beef roasts, but this was so delicious. Very tender and the sweetness from the maple syrup really makes the dish. I've made it several times.

I'm not usually to big on Robin Miller's recipes. I don't like using semi-prepared ingredients due to all the preservatives and hydrogenated oils in them. However this recipe contained none of the above and was delicious! I did sear my roast (only used 3 lbs not 5 on the stove on all sides for a few minutes before adding it to the crockpot. I used fennel bulb instead of the celeric root and I would again in the future. The sweetness of the fennel really added to the dish and it did not give it a heavy licorice flavor. I added a few carrots, and used shallots instead of onion. Also I rubbed the beef with a few tablespoons of horseradish along with the flour. The sauce was still sweet but the horseradish made the flavor a little more complex and kept it from being too syrupy. Finally I only had to cook mine for 8 hours on low and the beef fell apart perfectly. This is probably due to the fact that I used a smaller roast though. Everyone loved it, will definitely add this as one of my regulars!

Made this for my favorite Guinea Pig.... and HE LOVED IT! I made some minor changes (Some by accident..oops But it worked... First I used chopped celery instead of the root and I couldnt find parsnips at my market and it was a late night run so i didnt go searching for it. Then when I grabbed the can of diced tomatoes like a dummy I didn't read the can till I got home & it turns out that the tomatoes I bought were canned with chopped Jalapenos! So I went throught and picked out as many as I could find... But that little extra gave it some great heat that my boyfriend and I love! So sometimes a wrong turn can make for a pretty great outcome. The only semi-not really-negative thing from him is that in my haste at the market is I forgot the rolls to soak it all up! Definetly a 5 star success!
