This is what we are having for supper tonight! It's sooooo good and easy!! And the smell that it makes while cooking is tantalizing! :) I fix mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli with it. I can't wait to eat supper tonight, it's just that good!

Roast Beef

1 1/2 pounds beef roast
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 package onion soup mix
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon steak sauce
3 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow onion
1/2 cups water
1/2 cups tomato juice

Cut beef roast into serving sized portions. Use more beef if you need more than 6 servings. Brown beef in a bit of vegetable oil, although you can skip this step if rushed for time.

Slice onion and separate into rings. Dice the peeled carrots, dice the celery and slice the peppers into thin strips or circles. Place these into bottom of crockpot.

Sprinkle the beef pieces with fresh ground black pepper, minced garlic and the onion soup mix. Place on top of the vegetables.

Mix the steak sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl with about 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup tomato juice. Pour this over the meat.

Turn the crockpot to high for 30 minutes. Turn to low, cover and cook for 7 to 9 hours. When ready to serve, dip meat and vegetables out of pot with a slotted spoon.

Use the liquid as is or turn crockpot to high and thicken liquid with a little flour or cornstarch.
