I know that I'm a little late, but perhaps next time. lol I've never used the seasoning mix that you mention, but do pot, or round roasts often and like to do them in a dutch oven (large pot). It's a little faster than a crock pot and not quite as long as the oven, but turns a poor cut of meat into a tender, yummy, eating experience. I put a little olive oil in the pot and brown the meat, then I pour in a couple of cups of hot water and a package of onion soup mix. I turn it to simmer for an hour or two (the longer it simmers, the more tender it is), then I add my vegees. Turnips and carrots are cut to large chunks and potatoes are cut twice that size. I use whole small onions and a bulb of garlic as well. Everything in the pot and let it simmer for about an hour, until vegess are tender. Use half the broth for gravy and preserve the rest for the next night. On the second night, cut all the vegees and meat into bite size pieces and place them, with the leftover gravy and broth into the pot, then bring to boil. Turn to simmer and add a little flour thickener, then top with dumplings. If you don't do dumplings, then a little more thickening and you'll have a wonderful stew, when it has warmed. I also add my favourite herbs - basil and tarragon. I've also done it with old bay, which is lovely. Try it! You'll like it! lol :-)
