My review
Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Malbec (Red Wine)
3
Alex Storm
"I love the convenience of the slow cooker but I do not care for the sodium content by using cream of mushroom soup etc. Sadly many of today's recipes call for the can of soup. I have tried many recipes over the years and adjusted them and this is the result. Please do use the wine, most of the alcohol dissipates with the cooking."

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Please adjust the salt in the mix to your taste, start out with a bit less than the amount called for and add more later. I have found the amount was just right for my liking.
- Strain the gravy and thicken with a flour slurry if necessary. This recipe makes a lot of good gravy.
- Since I had time I seared the pot roast, but I am thinking that in a time crunch it won't be necessary.
- For the wine, I used an Australian Malbec. But please, use any red wine that you would drink. Dornfelder, Merlot, Pinot Noir or Zinfandel would also very equal substitutes.
- For all DIYers: any homemade season mix can be easily substituted for the store-bought ones. Allrecipes has many to choose from.
- For other tasty additions: add pearl onions, peas, carrots,or potatoes. I have not tried these add-ons yet, so I can't speak for it. but I am sure it would be great.

Makes a delicious roast. I nixed the salt as there is plenty in the Montreal Steak spice (which my wife didn't like so much, but I thought it was fine). Used Australian Shiraz instead of Merlot-...

This was one of the best pot roasts I've ever made, but there are several factors that affect that comment. I used an Angus chuck roast which is the very best. I used the ingredients and quantit...

This was very good. As I did not have the Montreal seasoning I used instead a prime rib rub. The prime rib rub contains rosemary already and I added thyme to it as the recipe suggests. I rubbed...
