I am quite lazy, so the simpler the recipe the better.
For roasts, I usually stick them in a slow cooker in the morning with some onion soup mix and maybe a small amount of water if I am worried about burning (depends how fatty the roast is). By the time I come home from work it is time to put the potatoes, carrots and other veggies in.
Usually my problem is that it becomes too tender and falls apart the minute I try to slice it. Here in Berlin I do not have a slow cooker, so I usually put it on the stove top on the lowest heat setting and use more water (less than 200cc). I usually don't leave for work when cooking on the stove top like this.
With the onion soup mix, it will make a quite nice gravy which will stew the potatoes and carrots. Maybe you don't want that, so you can always cook them seperately.
