Super Easy Gluten Roast

Yummy beef flavored gluten roast made in the crock pot, using stuff I actually had on hand rather than the stuff I see in most recipes!

• Ready In: 8 hrs 20 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• Roast

• 2  cups vital wheat gluten
• 1 (1 1/8ounce) package  Lipton Onion Soup Mix
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper

2. Mix on high for 15 minutes. You may need to scrape down occasionally in mixer.
