Only 7 ingredients, no tomatoes, no soup mixes, just a crock pot. I put the meat in before work, add the veggies when I get home and have a great meal quick. I often peel the taters and put them in the fridge covered with water until its time to throw them in, cuts after work prep time.
Ingredients:
2 lbs chuck roast
3 cups beef broth
1 onion, cubed
3 garlic cloves, smashed
6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup baby carrots
1/4 cup cornstarch
Directions:
1. In a crockpot, place roast (whole) add onion, garlic and beef broth. Salt and pepper if desired.
2. Cook on lo for 6-8 hours (I plug it in before I go to work).
3. Remove beef, cube and return to crock pot. Add potatoes and carrots, cook for 45 minutes.
4. Combine cornstarch with a little water, add and cook 15 more minutes until thickened.
5. I serve with crusty bread and a salad.
