Old Fashioned Pot Roast

I made this pot roast last night for company. I didn't want to do anything to extreme the first time my guests ever ate at our home, so I figured a good old fashioned pot roast would do the trick. I have another recipe that is "to die for," but I will post that another time!! I am sure a lot of you internet, food junkie, recipe hunters know what I am talking about!! Yummy!!! If not, then you will just have to check back often to see if I had blogged it yet!!

1 tsp. oregano
1/3 tsp. rosemarry
1 bay leaf
2 tsp. beef bullion granules (sodium free)
2 cups water (or enough to cover roast)
salt and pepper to taste
5-6 potatoes, cubed (add to crockpot with roast if NOT making mashed potatoes on side)
