Pot Roast in a Crockpot


3 1/2 lbs. boneless beef chuck or round bone roast
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup water
4 dried shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, crumbled & rinsed
        (or use regular button mushrooms, sliced)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dry red wine (or white wine)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water

Trim all visible fat from meat; place in slow cooker.

In a small bowl, combine onion, water mushrooms, ketchup, wine, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and garlic. (I pre-sautéed the onions and mushrooms first.) Pour mixture over meat.

Cover and cook on low about 8 hours.

Remove meat and slice. Keep meat warm.

Turn control to high.

Dissolve cornstarch in water; stir into cooker. Cover and cook on high 15 to 20 minutes or until thickened.

Serve sauce with meat.
