Rump Roast with Spicy Rub | Crock Pot Rump Roast

Thought a mid week roast was out of the question?  Not with your slow cooker!  This recipe is easy to prepare the night before.  Only the rub needs preparation.  Assemble the rub ingredient list into a small bowl and then all you have to do in the morning is sprinkle it over the meat surfaces, add the water and you on your way!

What size slow cooker will I need?

If you are fortunate to have a Hamilton Beach 33135 3-in-1 Slow Cooker with 2-, 4-, and 6-Quart Crocks, Stainless Steel you have a choice of three crock pot inserts to choose from.

For a 4lb roast, you need a 3½ or a 4 quart slow cooker.  A 6 quart slow cooker (or larger) will generally take a roast of approximately 7lbs.
