Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

This rump roast makes a great cheap alternative to prime rib. A bit of Italian dressing provides the au jus with a nice herby quality that infuses all through the roast for a juicy, flavorful result.
3 pounds rolled rump roast
1 can (15 ounce size) beef broth
1 package Italian salad dressing mix
1 package au jus mix
1 beef bouillon cube
Place the rump roast in the crock pot. In a bowl, mix together the broth, Italian dressing mix, au jus mix, and bouillon cube until dissolved. Pour over the roast.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or until the roast registers 130-140 degrees F on a meat thermometer (medium-rare to medium). Remove the roast from the crock pot and let sit for 5-10 minutes on a cutting board before slicing.
While the roast is resting, if desired transfer the liquid from the crock pot to a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and let the liquid cook down. Serve with the roast. You can also thicken the liquid with cornstarch if a more gravy-like consistency is desired.

I am making this for dinner today and will post my opinion on it after. Question on it, is this crockpot method the same as an oven method? Once turned on and in this case, lid put on crock, is it never opened until approximate done time?
When cooking with a crock pot in general you do not want to open the lid during the cooking time unless you absolutely have to. Opening the lid lets out necessary moisture and heat which will take the crock pot longer to reclaim and can extend the cooking time.
Came out like an over-priced pot roast. Very disappointed.
Not really a helpful review. Why didn't you care for it (as is required per our review guidelines)?

This was very easy to make. Very tastey. I made the best gravey with the juice. A great tip is to slice the meat and place it back in the juice until you are ready to serve. Can't wait to make it again !!

It was very good, simple to make and cost much less than buying prime rib.
