Submitted by Lori, Shelbyville, Kentucky who says that she has tried many different ways to cook a roast and this is her all time favorite so far!

TOOLS • Cutting Board • Knife • Skillet • Mixing Bowl • Crockpot or Slow Cooker   INGREDIENTS • Small to medium rump roast • 1 envelope onion soup mix • 1 envelope brown gravy mix • 1 individual size Apple Sauce (appx     ½ cup) • 2 cups water • 1 small bag baby carrots (or 5 carrots   cut in chunks) • 2 medium to large potatoes, cut up • 2 stalks celery, cut in chunks • Salt & pepper to taste

PREPARATION: Sear roast well on all sides in frying pan with small amount of oil. Place roast in crockpot, then put in the vegetables. Mix the envelope mixes in bowl with water and apple sauce. Pour over roast and vegetables. Cook on low for at least 8-10 hours. HINTS: If you want to thicken the gravy before serving, remove everything from the crockpot and pour the juice into a small saucepan. Mix about ¼ cup of flour with enough water to make a paste. Over medium heat, add the flour mixture to the juice and bring to a boil stirring frequently.
