Why not use a pressure cooker?

How about some potatoes, carrots, onion and/or celery to fill up all that wasted dead space? Or peppers and onions if you intend to make Philly Cheese Steak.
Don't forget Alton Brown's Real Egg Nog:
4 Eggs (separated)(use fresh, quality eggs like Eggland's Best because you are not going to cook them.)
1/3 c. Sugar
1 tbs Sugar
2 c. Whole Milk
1 c. Heavy Cream
3 oz Bourbon
1 tbs freshly grated Nutmeg
Beat Egg Yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add 1/3 cup of Sugar and continue to beat until it is completely dissolved.
Add Milk, Cream, Bourbon and Nutmeg and stir to combine. Set aside.
At serving time, beat Egg Whites to soft peaks Gradually add 1 tbs Sugar and beat to stiff peaks. Whisk Egg Whites into mixture.
Chill and enjoy.

Alton Brown's Alternate Cooked Egg Nog for Wussies:
Beat Egg Yolks and add Sugar as above. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine Milk, Cream, and Nutmeg and bring just to a boil stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and gradually temper the hot mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Then return everything to the pot and cook until 160 degrees. Remove from heat, stir in the Bourbon and chill.
At serving time do the Egg Whites/Sugar thing as above.

That sounds great and tasty to boot.
Nice to have something prep'ed in advance so ya'll can visit, eat and drink in leisure.
Why the crock pot? In the words of Ron Popeil, "Just set it. And forget it." :)
Personally, I'd as soon throw away the eggs, milk, cream, sugar and nutmeg, and keep the Bourbon.
My bro and his wife are visiting. I showed this to him. We have everything, except the bay leaf. I'll pick that up, along with the roast. My question is, what is 1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian-style
salad dressing mix??
Plus screw the onion salt. I got real onions. Also, I can't turn around in my kitchen without garlic spilling into every dish (including the pie, yum).
Only 3 ounces of bourbon? (rolls eyes and snickers softly to himself)
Nice looking recipe, Rog. I'll give that a shot next week sometime. Mrs is cooking some kinda something for fambly gathering tomorrow and I'm already on the hook to do jambalaya for a group of friends on Christmas day, or I'd try that sooner.

Only one bay leaf? C'mon. Live a little.
Rye instead of bourbon. Stands up better to the nog.

I've made this (same recipe). It's great.
The second time I made it I used packaged beef stock from the supermarket instead of the water...tasted even better.
Thank you, Rodger, I miss Chicago Italian beef. Never knew how to make it. Trouble is I can't get good Italian bread here in humid Florida...
You don't happen to have the recipe for Italian ice?
Get some Italian water and freeze it.

Do you sear the roast before putting it in the slow cooker? I seem to recall something of the sort from my youth.
