    Where was that supposed to go? I cut and pasted it into my browser and
    got "(404 Error) Yikes! This page doesn't exist." followed by a graphic
    of an Olde Tyme tabletop Color TeeVee and a request to "Please choose something else from the Cheezburger menu"

    That page opened up just fine for me. Are you running any privacy
    filters in your Web browser?

    I grabbed the image in question and put it in my Dropbox:

    I use a VPN and an ad blocker .... which causes some sites to "spit up"
    on my connect attempt. I've found that the ones which object to the ad
    blocker work just fine if I pump the F5 (reload page) key. The ones that
    cry over the VPN - I have to disable the VPN until the page starts to
    load the re-enable it.

    So I selected this for you from my cheeseburger files:
    Title: Bacon Double Cheeseburger

    Bacon is the perfect vegetable as it goes with everything.

    Still thinking about what I'm going to do with the beef roast I have...

    What cut of beef is your roast? If it's chuck I can recommend this one:

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: 3-Envelope Crockpot Roast (Without The Envelopes)
    Categories: Five, Beef, Herbs
    Yield: 8 Servings

    3 lb Chuck roast; trimmed
    3 tb Ranch dressing mix; (below)
    2 tb Gravy mix; (below)
    2 tb Italian dressing mix;(below)
    2 c Water

    MMMMM---------------------RANCH DRESSING MIX--------------------------
    1/3 c Dry buttermilk powder
    3 tb Parsley flakes
    2 1/2 ts Garlic powder
    2 1/2 ts Onion powder
    2 ts Dried minced onion
    2 ts Dried dill weed
    1 1/2 ts Kosher salt
    +=OR=+
    1 ts Salt
    1 ts Black pepper

    MMMMM-------------------------GRAVY MIX------------------------------
    3 tb Beef bouillon granules
    1 ts Onion powder
    1 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Thyme
    1/2 ts Pepper
    1/2 c Flour

    MMMMM--------------------ITALIAN DRESSING MIX-------------------------
    1 tb Garlic powder
    1 tb Onion powder
    1 tb Sugar
    2 tb Oregano
    1/4 ts Thyme
    1 ts Basil
    1 tb Dried parsley
    2 tb Salt

    In a pan, heat 2 tsp of oil over medium-high heat. Brown
    the roast on each side for 5 minutes. This step is not
    mandatory but it does make the roast taste better!

    Add the browned roast to the slow cooker.

    In a bowl whisk the water together with the 3 mixes.
    Pour the mixture over the roast.

    Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours (depending on your
    slow cooker). You’ll know the roast is done if you can
    shred it easily.

    RANCH DRESSING MIX: Run all the ingredients through a
    blender or food processor. Pulse about 10 times until
    all the granules are the same consistency. Store in an
    airtight container. To make ranch dressing whisk
    together 3 tb of ranch mix, 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup
    milk until smooth. Refrigerate for half hour before
    serving.

    GRAVY MIX: Run all the ingredients through a blender or
    food processor. Pulse about 10 times until all the
    granules are the same consistency. Store in an airtight
    container. To make gravy, mix 1/4 cup of mix with 2 cups
    of milk or water in a saucepan. Whisk over medium heat
    until smooth and it thickens.

    ITALIAN DRESSING MIX: Run all the ingredients through a
    blender or food processor. Pulse about 10 times until
    all the granules are the same consistency. Store in an
    airtight container. To make Italian dressing mix
    together 1/4 cup cinder vinegar, 2/3 cup olive oil, 2
    tb water and 2 tb mix. Store in the refrigerator.

    UDD NOTES: This works perfectly in my 6 qt casserole
    crockpot. I have now made up the "dry-mix" stuff above
    but for the first go I used up some Ranch Dressing Mix
    and Knorr Brown Gravy mix I had on hand. And used 2
    cups of creamy Italian Dressing from a bottle in my
    ice box in place of the water.

    This is a *VERY* forgiving/flexible recipe.
