Savory Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Step 1: Roast ... Remove your roast from the refrigerator to take the chill off. Season well with salt and pepper on all sides.

Step 2: Onion and Broth ... Rough chop the onion and add it to the bottom of the crock pot to make a small bed for the roast to set on. Then mix in a small bowl, the broth, tomatoes, and Italian seasoning and pour around the roast. Finish by pouring the worcestershire directly over the roast.

Step 3: Cook ... Cover and cook 8-10 hours on low or 6-8 on high. Please note that the newer crock pots cook hotter than the older ones. Also the style and size of the crock pot can alter the cooking times.

Step 4: Gravy ... Remove the meat (and vegetables, if you added them) to a carving platter and cover to let it rest as you make the gravy. Transfer the liquid to a medium size pot and use a stick blender to puree until everything is smooth. You can also use a regular blender too and then return the mix to the pot. Add the corn starch with a couple of tablespoons of cold water and mix well. Bring the gravy mix up to medium high and slowly add in - a little at a time the corn starch continuing to stir. As the gravy comes up to a boil it will begin to thicken. Thicken until you get the consistency you like.

Step 5: Serve ... Slice the roast (which will probably be falling apart) and serve with the rich gravy. ENJOY!
