The onion isn’t listed in the directions but I see it’s added on top in the video picture. I assume they are just laid on top of roast.
Is it possible to cook this on high for all or part of the cooking time to speed it up?
Yes, on high will be fine. I usually do 5-6 on high for roasts.
I’m going to use Your recipe on the balsamic slow cooker pot roast, but I’d like to add carrots and potatoes, will it make the vegetables mushy? What do you recommend?
No! It will work great. Vegetables take just as long as the roast to soften, so they won’t be mushy.
