Would this work in a slow cooker? What sort of meat?

I would imagine it would be best with a boneless chuck roast.

I don't think I'd try it in a slow cooker. You would need to brown
it first anyway, and that takes too long to do in the morning before
going to work. I don't think it would work out to get the meat
tender and the vegetable all done but not overdone at the same time.

I would cook a roast like this on top of the stove the whole time,
on a low simmer once the water was added. And not put the veggies
in until the last hour.

Well, they had to have enough of a brain to turn on the computer,
compose the post, then send it, so more than none, less than half?

I just did a choice beef eye of round with potatoes, onions and celery, one
can of beef broth and 2 cups of water, in my brand new seven quart crock
pot... it was 4.5 pounds and long enough that DH had to cut it in half. i
cooked it from frozen, 4 hours on high then overnight on low until it
reached the majical temp... i was going to say what DH picked but we went
for 200 internal temp for a hope at a more tender roast. I also make beef
top round and beef bottom round roast this way in the crock pot. the key to
this is just enough water and a very long cooking time. have also done pork
roast this way but put in pineapple onion and green peppers for the
flavoring, in that case the juice from the canned pineapple and 2 cups water
does it.

**********************

I make something similar that I do cook in the crock pot. I use beef broth
or bullion as part of the water and set it up to cook all day. Beef works
best, I usually use either a chuck or rump roast. A tougher roast works
really well. I know someone who used deer, but I haven't the courage.

We use similar recipes for our Beef pot roasts. The pork one looks really
good BTW. I'll have to try it.

Looking at the charts Americans call everything from the shoulder of
the beef chuck, it appears that British call that portion neck and
clod, chuck and blade and thick rib.

Pork and pineapple with onion and green peppers? 4 of my favourite
foods in one pot?!

Guess what we;ll be having sometime soon? We're both great fans of
pork even through Dave used to say he didn't like it- today we had one
of our favourite "fast foods" a boneless loin pork steak shoved in the
George Forman for 10-12 minutes with sweetcorn and peppers stir fried
and one of those packs of new potatoes with herbs and butter that
steam in the microwave- 15 minutes from starting to plate and that
includes topping it with hickory smoke BBQ sauce-I hadn't done much if
any housework over the last week due to the bloody swine flu so I
wanted something quick so I could get on with things
