Pot Roast Paprikash

I've heard so much about a dish called paprikash, but to be honest, all that paprika scared me.  I took the plunge and made it last week.  This dish is probably one of my favorites of all time!  The paprika gave this dish a bit of a spice, but mostly smokiness which made it seem I smoked this rather than cooked it in a crock-pot!
