The recipe says to cook on low for 7 hrs. My concern is that there is hardly any liquid involved in this recipe. About 2 tablespoons. Is that going to be enough liquid? Is there any rule of thumb as far as how much liquid should be used?

Yes! That's enough, you don't want to add liquid it will become soup. It makes it's own liquid! I made that mistake before. Tip, salt, pepper & brown the meat in skillet, remove, add Tablespoon of flour in the skillet drippings & brown a minute or two, then pour in a can of cream of mushroom(no water), stir to mix, put meat back in to coat with the gravy, Place a layer of onion on the bottom of crock pot, then the roast, pour remaining skillet mix on top and top with more onions. Don't add water!!!!!!!. It usuall don't take 8 hours, mine takes about 5 for a medium roast, in a medium crock pot. Serve the gravy with rice or mashed potatoes.
A FAMILY FAVORITE

I would be inclined to add a little bit more than that. Maybe 1/3 to 1/4 of a cup. You always end up with plenty of liquid in any case. But if you're like me and like lots of gravy that works just fine. By the way, what time should I arrive for dinner. Crock pot roast is one of my all time faves.

Cooking with a slow cooker requires very little liquid. You will get a lot from the foods themselves. So just follow your recipe and enjoy a great dinner tonight!

It'll be fine: As the grease renders out of your roast it will give plenty of liquid. I've cooked a lot of roasts like that.
