Browning the roast stove top before adding it to the slow cooker add to the flavor and color of the dish.

This was always one of my favorite meals my Mom used to make when we were growing up. This was before slow cookers. She browned her meat on top of the stove and then put it into the oven with thick slices of onion on top of it, add about 1 c. liquid. Preheated the oven @ 350 degrees. Bake it about maybe 2 hours till it was feeling tender. Next she would add her carrots about 15 min. later she would add her potatoes. She always made Cole slaw to serve with it. This is still one of my favorite meals, I think it reminds me of Mom's home cooked meals.
