How long do I cook a 2.5 Lb Rump Roast?

Question

I have a 2.5 Lb rump roast I would like to cook for tonight in a slow cooker with carrots, onions, celery, and red potatoes. I want to know what temperature to set it at to have it done by 4:30ish (8:30 now) and when should i add the vegetables so they don't get soggy, but are fully cooked and tender.

Answer 1

Set it on low and it will slowly be cooked.

You can add the veggies around 3:30... (an hr before its ready)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Answer 2

Add the veggies abotu 2 hours before the end of cooking time.  Make sure the potatoes and carrots are al the same size, generally, so they cook evenly.  You can even take out the roast the last half-hour and turn it to High, cover, and let veggies simmer while meat rests, you slice it, and return it back to gravy.

Delicious & Easy Crockpot Beef Roast

1 chuck or rump Beef Roast (sized for your crockpot)

½ Cup of Water

1 Packet of Ranch Dressing Mix

1 Packet of Italian Dressing Mix

1 Packet of Brown Gravy Mix

Put roast in crockpot, pour water around the base. Sprinkle all 3 dry seasoning packets over roast. Cover and cook for 6-7 hours on low. Remove roast to cutting board and let sit 15 minutes; slice thinly across the grain.  This makes great tasting gravy too!
