For a truly Cajun meal, serve this with cooked okra, but I'm not quite that Cajun so we just have this with green beans or another vegetable. Makes great sandwiches for left overs and can be frozen for 3 months with the sauce.

Crock Pot Cajun Pot Roast image

In the late 1960's I got this from a small Restaurant outside of Houma Louisiana. I remember I "oiled" the cook's vocal cords with a lot of cold Jax Beer to finesse the recipe out of him. About the only thing I've changed is re figuring it for the crock pot.
