Mark a little late on this one but.....
My wifey just did a lope roast the other night. It was probably the best roast I have ever had. All she did was take the roast, throw it in the crock pot, sprinkle one packet of french onion soup mix on top, add about a inch of stock or water and cook until the meat falls apart (about 5 hours).
Served with mash taters, steamed carrots and gravey.
Damn good eats.
