The Easiest 3 Ingredient Crock Pot Roast Ever! (Slowcooker)

Kat's Mom's Note:

This recipe is so good and so easy that I always assumed it was on Zaar. But search as I might, I just couldn't find it here. Not only is it easy, it is delicious and makes your house smell amazing! :) It turns out so tender that you can cut it with a fork. If you would like to make it a meal, add a can each of carrots, potatoes, green beans and/or corn about an hour before serving.

• Total Time: 8 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 8 hrs

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 1.0 roast

• 3 lbs pot roast (use the cheapest cut of beef you can find)
• ¾ ounce onion soup mix
• 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard (more or less to taste)

OPTIONAL GRAVY

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons water

Directions:

1. Place roast in a large crock pot.
2. Squirt or spread a thin layer of mustard over the roast.
3. Sprinkle onion soup mix on top.
4. Cook 8 hours on low (8 hours on high if roast is frozen).
5. OPTIONAL GRAVY: Strain the fat off the liquid and discard fat.
6. Place reserved liquid in a sauce pan and bring to a slight boil.
7. Add cornstarch to the water and make a paste.
8. Add paste to the reserved liquid and whisk until thickened.
9. NOTE: Do not add water to this - it will effectively "steam" the roast and make it tougher. Believe it or not, this will make its own liquid.

Yum! My teenage son made this for supper today, and it was easy and delicious. We used a pork roast instead of beef, and as written, we thickened the juice for gravy. We served it on large flour tortillas rolled up burrito-style, and dipped them in the gravy. So tasty. No leftovers!
