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

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.

• Ready In: 8 hrs 5 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 1 roast

Ingredients

• 3  lbs  pot roast (use the cheapest cut of beef you can find)
• 3⁄4 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.
