DAN'S CROCKPOT POT ROAST

Dan came up with this entirely on his own and it is a favorite of all who have tried it.

serves 6-8
1 chuck roast, about 3-4 pounds
Salt and pepper
2 onions, peeled and quartered
4-5 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 bay leaf
2 tsp. basil
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
3 beef bouillon cubes
1/2 cup water

Season the roast very well on all sides with salt and pepper, then sear on a lightly oiled hot pan until browned all over. Lay the onions and carrots down in a crockpot as a "bed" for the meat. Add the seared meat and the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low for approximately eight hours for fall-apart meat.
