Hi Marci, long time no see! I just made pot roast this week, but im not completely crazy about the recipe I tried.. so I wont pass it on. Here's a crock pot beef stroganoff recipe: i recommend using chuck instead of top round though, as top round tends to come out a bit dry (too lean).
As far as root veggie swaps, as delicious as they are, don't swap for sweet potatoes. they are vita packed but even worse carb-wise than regular potatoes! i used turnips in my pot roast and really liked it. you can also use rutabega carrots or celery root.
From About.com:
