Season roast with salt and cracked pepper and quickly seal/brown roast in tablespoon of oil or butter in a warm to hot frypan.
Remove roast and pour off oil/butter but leave any bits of pepper or meat.
Do not wash frypan!
Return Pan to heat. Mix 1 heaped tablespoon of dried Bacon bits and packet of soup with 1 cup water and heat in frypan, stirring quickly. Soup mixture will go VERY "gluggy" .
Place 2 spoons of soup mixture in bottom of slow cooker, place roast on to this then scrape remainder of soup mixture over roast, lid on and "walk away" !
Thicken sauce (if needed) just before serving with Arrowroot or Cornflour mixed with water to paste consistency and stir through roast sauce.
Cook for 7 hours automatic ( my Auto slow cooker cooks on high for 4 hrs then switches to low)
NB if thickening sauce, remove roast while you are doing this.
