I made this for dinner tonight and will definitely be adding it to my favorites. I used a top sirloin roast and together with the veggies and juices, made a very enjoyable dinner. I would also serve this to dinner guests without any hesitation.

I made this for my family and my kids and husband thought it was one of the best. The roast was tender and juicy and the vegetables were cooked just right on low for 8 hours
