Directions

• Heat up a large skillet on high heat. You want to get it good and hot.
• Add about a tbsp. of vegetable oil into the bottom of the pan.
• Take a paper towel and dry the meat really good.
• Season the roast with salt & pepper.
• When pan is really hot, add your roast. You arent going to cook it all the way through. Youre just browning both sides to give it some added flavor.
• Once browned, put it into the bottom of your slow cooker.
• Mix together 2 cups of water with all the seasoning packets and chopped onion. Give it all a good stir.
• Pour it over the roast.
• Cook on low for about 6 to 7 hours.
• Around the last 2-3 hours of baking, you can add in your diced potatoes, carrots and celery if you prefer.
• This next step is also optional but if you would like your gravy to be a bit thicker, heres how you do it.
• Mix together cold water with cornstarch.
• Pour corn starch mixture into your slow cooker and turn the slow cooker up to the high setting.
• Cook for an additional 30 minutes on high to thicken the gravy.
