I always wonder how my recipes work out for other people. I worry that too much is lost in translation between my memory and the written out recipe. Let me know how it goes Rachelle!

If you do take the time to sear it, the flavor of your roast will be that much better. I don't know if I'd say the bay leaves make it sweet...more herbal. You could always leave them out and just use the star anise. Shawn,

We just got a 1.5 qt slow cooker for Christmas. I've figured out how to fit a roast and veggies in it (step 1: ignore instructions to fill no more than 3/4 full) so I think I will try this recipe this week. Mmm!

I've wanted a crock pot roast recipe to try out. This sounds a bit different. Do the bay leaves make it sweet? I'm not crazy about them. Having said that, you wowed me with the roast chicken and vegetable - which we are having this week! Also, did you sear the meat? If not, could you?
