What cut of beef is your roast? If it's chuck I can recommend this one:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: 3-Envelope Crockpot Roast (Without The Envelopes)
 Categories: Five, Beef, Herbs
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      3 lb Chuck roast; trimmed
      3 tb Ranch dressing mix; (below)
      2 tb Gravy mix; (below)
      2 tb Italian dressing mix;(below)
      2 c  Water

MMMMM---------------------RANCH DRESSING MIX--------------------------
    1/3 c  Dry buttermilk powder
      3 tb Parsley flakes
  2 1/2 ts Garlic powder
  2 1/2 ts Onion powder
      2 ts Dried minced onion
      2 ts Dried dill weed
  1 1/2 ts Kosher salt
           +=OR=+
      1 ts Salt
      1 ts Black pepper

MMMMM-------------------------GRAVY MIX------------------------------
      3 tb Beef bouillon granules
      1 ts Onion powder
      1 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Thyme
    1/2 ts Pepper
    1/2 c  Flour

MMMMM--------------------ITALIAN DRESSING MIX-------------------------
      1 tb Garlic powder
      1 tb Onion powder
      1 tb Sugar
      2 tb Oregano
    1/4 ts Thyme
      1 ts Basil
      1 tb Dried parsley
      2 tb Salt
 
  In a pan, heat 2 tsp of oil over medium-high heat. Brown
  the roast on each side for 5 minutes. This step is not
  mandatory but it does make the roast taste better!
  
  Add the browned roast to the slow cooker.
  
  In a bowl whisk the water together with the 3 mixes.
  Pour the mixture over the roast.
  
  Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours (depending on your
  slow cooker). You’ll know the roast is done if you can
  shred it easily.
  
  RANCH DRESSING MIX: Run all the ingredients through a
  blender or food processor. Pulse about 10 times until
  all the granules are the same consistency. Store in an
  airtight container. To make ranch dressing whisk
  together 3 tb of ranch mix, 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup
  milk until smooth. Refrigerate for half hour before
  serving.
  
  GRAVY MIX: Run all the ingredients through a blender or
  food processor. Pulse about 10 times until all the
  granules are the same consistency. Store in an airtight
  container. To make gravy, mix 1/4 cup of mix with 2 cups
  of milk or water in a saucepan. Whisk over medium heat
  until smooth and it thickens.
  
  ITALIAN DRESSING MIX: Run all the ingredients through a
  blender or food processor. Pulse about 10 times until
  all the granules are the same consistency. Store in an
  airtight container. To make Italian dressing mix
  together 1/4 cup cinder vinegar, 2/3 cup olive oil, 2
  tb water and 2 tb mix. Store in the refrigerator.
  
  UDD NOTES: This works perfectly in my 6 qt casserole
  crockpot. I have now made up the "dry-mix" stuff above
  but for the first go I used up some Ranch Dressing Mix
  and Knorr Brown Gravy mix I had on hand. And used 2
  cups of creamy Italian Dressing from a bottle in my
  ice box in place of the water.
  
  This is a *VERY* forgiving/flexible recipe.
