This recipe can be adjusted according to how many people you are serving, the size of your slow cooker, and your personal preferences.
1-2 lbs of any kind of beef roast
1/2 of an onion, I prefer a red onion
Carrots, can use baby carrots
Red Potatoes
2-4 tbsp beef base (can buy in a jar at most stores)
Cut up veggies as desired. Add an inch or two of warm water to a slow cooker and then stir in the beef base. I would say a tablespoon for every pound. Add the roast into the water, do not cut off the fat because it adds flavor. Add the onions on top of the meat, and then add the veggies. Only the meat should be covered by the water when you first turn on the cooker. Allow at least 8 hours to cook on low heat for best results. Can do it in less time by cooking on high heat for a few hours and then switching to low. Try not to open the lid after you start the cooking.
