For large rumpus style roasts
I agree that a crockpot makes a great roast. But, during the winter, when the house is chilly I do the crock pot thing in the oven. I have large dutch oven/caserole thing I inherited and it can go in the oven. I brown about a tablespoon of diced onions(gotta watch them carbs) in olive oil in the pot, stir, and when they start to sweat well I toss in about five large cloves of sliced garlic.
When I start to swoon from the smell of garlic I empty the pot of the onions and garlic, add more olive oil and brown the roast, then take it out of the pot. Then I put the flame on low. add about a quarter cup of water and scrape the gunk off the bottom and sides of the pot. Then I toss back the onions and garlic and put the roast on top and put the lid on . Turn off the top of the stove burner.
Put the roast in the oven, middle rack. Turn on the oven to a really low setting, about 180-200 degrees and let it sit in the oven about 6 hours for a large roast. Small I don't know because we always make large ones. It comes out great, the house smells great, and if you live in a small place, it even makes the house less chilly.
You could add some things to the roast, like actual seasonings but I just use some of the light salt at the talble to get the potassium. Its actually pretty good.
