The Best Crock pot Roast Recipe

I made this today and it was very good. I do think that my crock pot runs hot so it cooked on low for 5-6 hours. I usually use my clay pot for pot roast but it is not big enough for all of the veges that I put in it. Thanks for the recipe.

Ingredients

•     1/4 cup water for the gravy
•     2 tablespoons cornstarch
•     2 to 3 lbs roast
•     1/2 teaspoon salt
•     1/2 teaspoon pepper
•     1.5 lbs any potatoes of your choice cut into chunks (I used small baby yellow potatoes so there was not cutting)
•     1 teaspoon minced Garlic
•     1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
•     4 carrots peeled and cut into chunks
•     1/2 onion cut into chunks
•     4 cups beef stock or broth one carton

Instructions

1.     First, cut all your vegetables into large chunks. You want them to be bigger so they will not turn into mush.
2.   Then, Add your roast to the crock pot 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 on high for 5 hours.
6.     Shred the beef.
7.     Now, time to make the gravy. In a small bowl whisk together the 1/4 cup of water and the cornstarch.
8.     Remove 2 cups of the liquid from the crock pot and place in a sauce pan.
9.     Whisk in the water and cornstarch mixture in with the beef juice.
10.     Bring to a boil, stirring frequently for 3-5 minutes until it begins to thicken. It will thicken as it cools as well.
11.     Drizzle the gravy over the roast, potatoes, and carrots and enjoy!
