Beef Crockpot Roast

This is the Best Crock Pot Roast recipe! Our entire family loves this meal and it is really so simple. Everything gets tossed into the slow cooker and you get to come home to dinner waiting. It is the perfect meal for busy week nights!

What You Need:

• 2 to 3 lbs roast

• 1.5 lbs of any potatoes of your choice, cut into chunks (I used small baby yellow potatoes so there was no cutting)

• 4 carrots peeled and cut into chunks (You can also use baby carrots.)

• 1 onion cut into chunks

• 4 cups of beef stock or beef broth (one carton)

• 1 teaspoon of minced Garlic

• 1/2 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning

• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

• 1/2 teaspoon of pepper

• 1/4 cup of water (for the gravy)

• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
  

Steps To Take:

1. First cut all your vegetables into large chunks. You want them to be bigger so they will not turn into mush.

2. Add the beef to the crockpot and then place the vegetables around the roast.

3. Add all your seasonings.

4. Next add in the beef stock.

5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or cook on high for 5 hours.

6. Shred the beef.

Now, time to make the gravy.

1. In a small bowl whisk together the 1/4 cup of water and the cornstarch.

2. Remove 2 cups of the liquid from the crockpot and place in a sauce pan.

3. Whisk in the water and cornstarch mixture in with the beef juice.

4. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently for 3-5 minutes until it begins to thicken. It will thicken as it cools as well.

5. Drizzle the gravy over the roast, carrots and potatoes and enjoy!
