Slow Cooker Pot Roast

AmyZoe's Note:

This recipe is on the back of the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, but I'll post the recipe as I made it because in the end it wasn't anything like the original recipe. We cooked this all day in the crock pot, and the gravy tastes delicious with the meat and vegetables.
