Love of Rump (Roast, That Is)

I've already discussed my love of crockpots and the mandatory use of crockpot liners, so I'll skip all of that today and get into one of my favorite crockpot recipes. However, I will give a little disclaimer first. I am a dump cook. Rarely is anthing ever done exactly the same way twice in my kitchen. Therefore, I have no specific measurements for this. I put in what sounds good in an amount that feels right. That helps a lot, huh?

This time I used:
*Roast--I asked for the smallest rump roast they had at HyVee. Otherwise we end up with about 25 lbs. of meat in our crockpot. That's a little much.
*Baby carrots--washed, uncut
*Little red potatoes--Some days I use yellow, but red sounded better.
*Yellow onion
*Beef broth--about 3/4 of a can
*2 Bay leaves
*Beef buillon cube
*Salt & peppa
*Onion powder
*Thyme
*Oregano
*Basil
*That's all I can remember. I think that's it...

After cooking for many moons in the crockpot, the roast looked like this:
Here's the plated version. I make a really mean gravy with the juices, but there was not time in the day this time--unfortunately. I love gravy. The lack of made me a bit sad.
Even without gravy, the meal was good. It was an easy one-pot meal plus a whole wheat roll. Yum!

Lingering thought of the day: Pray for my dad and his surgeons. He's having a valve replaced on Monday. We're ready for him to be all better!
