Recipe

Let’s revive the Crock Pot (or Slow Cooker)! I find this recipe accommodates my current economic situation
by using a very inexpensive cut of meat. It is easy to prepare and cooks itself into a hearty meal while
I am at work.

Beef Roast with Onions and Potatoes

• 1 large sweet onion, cut in half, then cut into thin slices
• 3–pound beef boneless bottom round roast
• 3 baking potatoes, cut into 1½ to 2 inch cubes
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• ½ package (2‐ounce size) onion soup mix (typically 1 envelope)
• ½ cup beef broth
• ¼ cup all‐purpose flour

1. Place onion in 3½ to 4 quart crock pot. Place beef on onion. Top with potatoes and garlic. Sprinkle with dry soup mix.
2. Cover and cook on low heat setting for 9 to 10 hours or until beef is tender.
3. Remove beef and vegetables from crock pot and place on serving platter. Cover to keep warm.
4. Mix broth and flour and then gradually stir into the juices in the crock pot. Cover and cook on high heat setting for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened. Serve sauce over beef and vegetables.
