How I cook Roast Beef in the Slow Cooker

I don't generally follow a recipe I just toss stuff in the pot and cook till it's done... when I lived closer to work I'd leave it on low for the am, go home at lunch and crank it up to high then eat straight after work, mmmmmm!

Slow Cooker Roast Beef
2 lb Roast
Garlic
Salt
Pepper
a few medium sized potatoes peeled and chopped to bite size
Beef broth
Whatever veg you have on hand

Throw it all in the slow cooker in the am, set the timer (outlet timer or if you have one on your slow cooker) to about 5 hours before you plan on eating/getting home.

Gravy?

Remove meat & veg & potatoes

Pour juices into the largest diameter pot you have and bring to boil

While waiting for it to boil mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a jar and fill with cold water.

Close jar and shake the shit out of it

Once the juices have boiled slowly pour the cornstarch water in while mixing

Mix for a bit while it's heating until it thickens

If after 5 mins it's not thick repeat the cornstarch. Actually make that 3 minutes.
