    1 pkg. McCormick pot roast or beef stew seasoning

    1 cup water
    Chili powder, to taste

    Chop onion and place in bottom of crock pot. Sprinkle some flour on the onion. Add some butter (1-2 tablespoons) and sauté until soft…(if you’re in a hurry you might want to sauté  in a pan on the stove and then put in the crock pot)..then place roast on top of onions.
    Mix McCormick seasoning with water and pour over roast. Add ketchup. Stir.
    Cover and leave on high.
    Cut up potatoes and carrots and add to pot.
    Sprinkle chili powder on to taste. 
     
    Cover and turn on low and cook for 6 or more hours.  The longer the better. This recipe is very tasty, you will be surprised.


    Editors Note: If you don't have seasoning packets on hand, use 1 beef bouillon or 1 1/2 teaspoons Minor's beef base, 1/2 tsp. each garlic and onion powder or 3-4 cloves minced garlic and one chopped onion. A bay leaf can also be added and removed before serving.
