Sweet Mustard Roast

I made this last night. My original plan was to make it on Sunday for my weekly crock-pot, but we went to my brother-in-law's for dinner instead. Yeah for that! So I made it last night. I liked it ok, but I think it was mainly because it tasted dry. I don't know if it's because my crock-pot likes to fry things and I need to buy a smaller crock pot for smaller meals. And I have a super-favorite crock pot roast recipe that I like better (I'm going to post it next). So, I may or may not make it again. I got the recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking.

3 pounds beef or pork roast (I made beef)
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup dijon mustard (I only had spicy brown mustard)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons white vinegar

Use a 4 quart slow cooker. If you have a larger model, that's fine, but you won't need to cook it as long---I'd check after 5 hours on low.

Dump meat into cooker. Top with molasses, dijon, and vinegar. Toss in the garlic powder. Using tongs, flip the meat over a few times to coat it nicely with the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for about 4.
