Mom used a rump roast. Top or bottom round would work well too. To make a complete meal in a pot, add additional veggies (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, etc.) Or serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes with salad and vegetables on the side. To keep your meal low carb, serve over zucchini noodles or riced cauliflower. For thicker gravy, remove the meat and then turn the crock pot to HIGH.

Cover and let it bubble until thickened, about 20 to 15 minutes. You can use the leftovers to make sandwiches, quesadillas, pot pie, soup, stew, etc.
