Slow Cooker Pot Roast

I love this type of meals, perfect for those crazy busy days when you don't even have time to breath!  You just add the stuff to your slow cooker, go on about your day, and voila!  Dinner is ready for you at the end of the day.  This goes perfectly with some mashed potatoes, seasoned rice or even some noodles.  The meat cooks perfectly in the slow cooker and it just melts in your mouth!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
-1/4 cup vegetable oil
-1 (3 lbs) boneless chick roast
-salt
-pepper
-garlic powder
-1 onion, thinly sliced
-3 bay leaves
-4 beef bouillon cubes, crushed
-2 garlic cloves, crushed
-1 (10 3/4 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
-1/2 cup red grape juice
-2 cups water
Directions:
Heat oil in large skillet.  Season generously all sides of the roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  Sear roast until brown on all sides.  Carefully, place roast (without the oil) in the slow cooker.  Layer on top  with the onions, bay leaves, crushed bouillons, garlic, and soup.  Add the juice and water.  Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
