Roast Beef with Gravy

Crockpot recipes are great for beef roasts. We used to make lots of crockpot beef roasts, back when they were much cheaper. 

Ingredients:

1 boneless beef sirloin tip roast (4 lbs)

½ cup all-purpose flour, divided

1 envelope onion soup mix

1 brown gravy mix

2 cups cold water

Directions:

1. Cut roast in half; rub with ¼ cup flour. 
2. Place in a 5-quart slow cooker. 
3. In a bowl, combine soup and gravy mixes and remaining ¼ cup flour; stir in water until blended. 
4. Pour over roast. Cover and cook on low 6-8+ hours (until meat is tender.) 
5. Slice. Serve with hot mashed potatoes and gravy. 

Notes:

Makes 10-12 servings.
