Mama's Easy Crockpot Roast Beef

Add some carrots, potatoes, and pearl onions to this crockpot roast beef recipe and you've got a meal. Just remember to wait until about 1 to 2 hours before the roast is done to add the vegetables so that they don't get mushy.

1 (5 to 6 pound) chuck roast.
3 cloves garlic, cut in half
1 package Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix
2 cups Homemade Beef Broth or 1 can beef broth.
1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 cup COLD water

Cut 6 (1") slits in top of chuck roast about halfway through the roast. Place 1/2 clove of garlic into each slit.

Put roast in the bottom of the crockpot. Add beef broth. Sprinkle top with both packages of Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix.

Cover and cook on LOW 8-10 hours or until beef is fork tender. Remove Roast from Crockpot and set aside (Remember to let the roast rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting.) Do not remove the liquid from the crockpot.

Mix together the cornstarch and the COLD water until disolved. Add to the liquid in the crockpot and stir. Replace lid and allow to cook until thickened stirring occasionally.
