Family Favorite Slow Cooker Roast

Anyone else here a crazy cat lady? Or just generally crazy about animals? We have two kitties: Bella and Muffin. Bella is my kitty, hands-down. She's prissy and motherly, very much a cat. Muffin, on the other hand, is my husband's cat and way more like a dog. Last night, she curled up in between my husband and I on her back sprawled up just like a dog - paws curled and everything. This distracted me from sleeping and I am in dire need of coffee this morning. I wish I would've gotten a picture! Now back to the food...

After trying this recipe, it isn't hard for me to understand why it is called "Family Favorite" - this roast was so tender and flavorful. I loved the Cajun seasoning (first time using it) and the coffee added so much more flavor to the roast as well.
