Salt, pepper, onions, garlic, parsley, and red wine are all you really need. Cook down the liquid at the end for gravy. Use a chuck roast and brown it prior to putting it in the crockpot. Deglaze your browning skillet with some of the wine and make sure to pour that in the crock pot too.

I dont have a "recipe" per say but this is what I usually do:
Chop Up:
Carrots
potatoes
celery
onion
garlic (stuffed in roast)
Coat roast in s&p. Sear Roast in pot on high heat then place in croc pot with vegetables. Add beef broth, bay leaf, thyme. Let cook for 4-5 hours.
When done take the liquid that is in the croc pot and reduce it to make a nice gravy.

i read one recipe suggesting those bouillon cubes but i always read those were salty as shite!
I typically like less salt than most people

Depends on how much meat and how big your crock pot is. Don't submerge the hunk of meat, but don't just put in a splash. I usually aim a 1/3 or up the side of the meat with wine. As the meat cooks it will fill up more with liquid from the meat and veggies and be near the top of the roast by the end.

1. get a chuck roast
2. cut up 1 yellow onion, 1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell, a couple sticks of celery
3. liberally coat w/ garlic powder,paprika,onion powder, cayenne, flour and season salt
4. put a thin layer of butter, canola oil, or veggie oil in a pot/skillet
5. heat up oil on medium high heat (i use the same heat as i do to fry bacon)
6. brown roast on both sides. (this is the most important part of this recipe. if you don't brown it well, it won't taste right. when you think it's browned enough, drink a beer and then when you are done, turn the roast over and brown the other side.)
7. brown other side as before
8. place roast on plate to side
9. throw in some chopped garlic into the oil (if you see a little black in the oil it's ok. deglaze with some chicken broth and then continue)
10. once the garlic is in for a few seconds, throw your veggies into the oil.
11. when the garlic is appropriately colored (brown not black!) remove it all to the crock pot. deglaze pot to get all the goodies into the crock pot.
12. add the roast to the crock pot.
13. put about a cup of chicken broth into the crock pot along with a packet of lipton onion soup mix and a lb of sausage that is cut up into bite size pieces
14. let that shite simmer for 8 hours and then get ready for a super that you can be proud of
*after about 3 hours, taste the gravy. add seasonings from there. i like to add louisiana hot sauce to the gravy at this point too.
*with your rice, for every cup of dry rice, add on tablespoon of vinegar for an amazing flavor.
*notice there is no carrots and potatoes in this recipe. i guess you can add them but i don't.
*the sausage is very important for flavor. make sure you cut it up to allow the fat to render into the gravy.
*before serving, you can pull out the meat and then thicken gravy with either flour or cream of celery/mushroom. just don't get carried away with either. let the gravy's flavor speak for itself.

The easiest possible crockpot roast recipe: put roast in slow cooker. Sprinkle one envelope of Lipton onion soup mix. Add 2 cups water. Cook for 8-10 hrs. The onion soup mix has caramel coloring, so the roast & gravy will be brown, even though you don't do the separate step of browning.

What I use to make my famous Roast beef po boys that are better than any restaurants around:
1 roast-sear it before putting in the pot
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can beef broth
1 packet lipton french onion soup mix
1 cut up onion
1 pack of mushrooms cut up (if you and your pals like mushrooms)
Some garlic
Add any seasonings you feel fit
Cook in crock pot all day. Shred roast. Serve on the real new orleans style po boy bread (leidenheimer etc) NOT the $1 french bread from walmart.
Your drunk female friends will be caressing your johnson in between bites of this succulent snack.

If you want easy and very good, get a 1 1/2 to 3 pound chuck roast and two cans of regular Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. Throw in the slow cooker on low for 10 hours and enjoy the best roast with mushroom gravy you've probably ever had.
Only drawback is you will need rice, mashed potatoes or bread to put it over.

The 3 envelope pot roast is my favorite one I have found so far on Pinterest
1 packet of ranch dressing mix
1 packet italian dressing mix
1 packet brown gravy mix
Mix with 2 cups of water and pour on top of roast. Add whatever veggies. Turn cooker on high 6-8 hrs.

My sister in law swears by something similar, but I haven't tried it. All those packages make me think the gravy will be so salty. How is the salt in it?

Here is one I picked up from a lady on the old Cooks Illustrated bulletin board. I've cooked it twice, and it is good. Instead of anchovy fillets, I use the anchovy paste in a tube. Gotta have that umami.
Braised Beef with Anchovies and Rosemary
Servings: 6
Preparation: 15 minutes Cooking: 6 hours and 45 minutes Total Time: 7 hours
Author: Michele Scicolone
Source: Adapted from The Italian Slow Cooker Cookbook via MJ on Cooks Illustrated board.
From MJ: I use exclusively 7-bone chuck, but a well marbled chuck roast should do just fine. Can use diced deli ham slices and sautéed in bacon for the pancetta. My slow cooker cooks for 4 or 6 hrs on high, 8 or 10 hrs on low. I just set it for 6 hrs on high and then propped the lid open for an additional 3 minutes to reduce the sauce. Original recipe did not have the added ½-¾ cup extra beef broth during the reduction to increase the amount of sauce.
2 TBS. olive oil
3 lbs. boneless chuck, cut into 2" cubes
2 oz. pancetta (or bacon, or ham, or salt pork)
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
6 anchovy fillets
1 cup Sauvignon Blanc wine
1 sprig rosemary powdered or 3" fresh
3/4 cup beef broth
In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry. Add only as much of the beef and pancetta to the pan as will fit comfortably without crowding. Cook until nicely browned on all sides. Transfer the meat to a large slow cooker and brown the remaining meat. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon off the excess fat from the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and anchovies and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the anchovies dissolve. Add the wine and bring it to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan. Pour the liquid into the slow cooker. Add the rosemary.
Cover and cook on high for 6 hours, or until the meat is very tender. Add the beef broth and if able remove from cooker base and put on the stove top, and cook for 30 minutes until sauce is reduced. If not leave cooking with the top off for about 30 minutes to reduce the sauce. Discard the rosemary before serving and serve hot.

It's not very salty to me. It's a great one for when you are running out the door late for work. Takes zero thought!

Make it easy on yourself. I like Boston butt instead of beef. But that's just me. Anyway, throw a butt in the crock pot, 2 small bags of seasoning blend, or one large, fill with enough chicken broth to reach top of butt, 3-4 tablespoons of roux, and 1 can GOLDEN mushroom soup. Turn crock pot on and let it eat for as long as you can stand it. Check seasoning before you serve it.

Errrrbody across the river is raving about this one:
Mississippi Roast - Crockpot
I can neither deny nor confirm its worthyness as I've never cooked one this way.
