I used a smaller cut of meat--1 1/2 lb-- since it's just two of us so it takes less than half the time. I stuck to the intent of the recipe, but didn't use chili powder or cayenne since I don't keep them around. Instead, I used onion powder and steak seasoning with the other spices. It was delicious! My husband and I are both picky especially with lower quality meats, but this is worth a try.

I read the comments and took the advice to use less pepper and half a cup of red wine. I didn't measure very specifically and I used garlic salt instead of celery salt. The rump roast I used had probably been in the freezer for a year it turned out really good. I am not much of a cook at all, so it's an easy one to pull off.

This was a nice change to how I usually make a roast. I usually just throw in a package of onion soup mix with water and add some salt and pepper. But I thought I'd try something new. My husband loved it. He loves spicy things. It was very good and I will definately use it again. Tomorrow I will follow some of the other reviewer's advice and make some sandwiches with the leftovers. Thank You for the great idea!!!!!

I might not be accustomed to this particular type of meat, but it came out chewy. I did increase the water to 2 cups and added the instant french onion soup mix. I slow cooked for 10 hours. Probably won't make again.

This recipe was great! I made one change and added 2 cups of water instead of just 1/2 cup. The spice mix was amazing and after 8 hours on low and then 3 hours on "Keep Warm" in the crockpot it was very juicy and tasted great. My husband loved it too.

The sauce was very spicy. You may want to cut the spices in half if you don't like spicy food. I turned my sauce into gravy since the family prefers roast with mashed potatoes.
