Salt and pepper a thawed roast such as a round roast or chuck. Place it in your crockpot, put the lid on turn your crackpot on to it's highest setting and cook for about 8 hours. You will have plenty of moisture from the meat itself. We also like to add a package of onion soup to this before cooking. With the drippings you can make baron of beef, or thicken the drippings for a flavorful gravy.
