For the gravy after cooking:
Trim excess fat from roast. Place roast in slow cooker.
Layer potatoes, carrots and mushrooms around sides and top of roast.
Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to cover well.
Pour in condensed cream of mushroom soup.
Mix together the 1 cup hot water with the beef bouillon. Pour over the roast and veggies.
Put lid on and cook on LOW for about 8 hours, up to 10 hours.
Before serving, scoop out about 1.5-2 cups of the liquid that is in the slow cooker. Put liquid in a saucepan on the stove. Add to it 2 Tbsp. cornstarch that is dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water.
Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat and boil 1 minute or until gravy is thick. Season to taste with more garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Serve roast with the veggies and the gravy.
*I have not used another brand of condensed cream of mushroom soup but there are a couple of them. I've mentioned in my blog post, and have included a link to make your own from scratch if you'd prefer.
If you'd prefer to use large carrots that you peel and slice, feel free. I just use baby carrots to save time.
I recommend serving with gluten-free cornbread or gluten-free rolls.
Leftovers make great lunches!
