Cooking duties while the wife is laid up... grabbed the wrong meat for a crock pot roast beef I think. Intended to Geta chuck roast. Grabbed a London Broil Top Round ~3#.
Will this be OK? Already seasoned and seared and in the crock pot for 2 1/2 hours now. Haven't added the veggies yet, don't want them mushy.
There a lot of recipes on the web for london broil pot roast. Let us know how it turns out.

This. Maybe add an extra hour to break it down a bit more. Perfect opportunity to take a sample.... For purely culinary and scientific purposes only of course.

We use a crock pot for stews and pot roasts. Recently did a pot roast for 4 hours on high, then reset it for four more hours on high. Extremely tender, no knife needed, and came out more like a stew.

Yeah. I prefer Chuck but London broil can be very good. My dad used to marinate his in red wine for 45 minutes before making a roast out of it, it came out very nice and also helped break it down.
We use our crock pot to cook roasts and stews all the time. Cooking time is always around 8-9 hours and don't add the potatoes until about two hours before eating time.
A pot roast will always be the best but we have had decent results with rump roasts and other less fatty cuts.
