Crock Pot Beef Roast

We tried this recipe yesterday and loved it. I changed the original version slightly and have posted my take on this classic dish. Great for a cold day!

Ingredients:

3-4 pound roast beef or round steak
1 onion, chopped
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 cup water
1 tbsp mustard (I use spicy brown)
1/2 cup Ketchup (Heinz)
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (Lee and Perrins)
1 tbsp gravy master
garlic powder and pepper to taste
3 tbsp Corn Starch

Place meat in crock pot. Sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder. Add chopped onion. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over meat. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Remove meat and slice. Add corn starch to a few ounces of cold water and mix, then add to sauce in crock pot and stir until it thickens.

Variations:

Option 1: Add 6 potatoes chopped and once pound of carrots to crock pot with meat and follow same directions for a complete meal.

Option 2: Serve meat and sauce over egg noodles.
