• Place potatoes and carrots in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cut roast in half. Combine the mustard, rosemary, garlic salt, thyme and pepper; rub over roast. , Place in slow cooker; top with onion and broth. Cover and cook on low until meat and vegetables are tender, 6-8 hours. If desired, top with minced thyme. Freeze option: Place sliced pot roast and vegetables in freezer containers; top with cooking juices. Cool and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a covered saucepan, gently stirring and adding a little water if necessary.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 Place roast fat side up in a covered roasting pan. Sprinkle dry soup mix over top and around roast. Cover pan tightly with foil. Place lid on pan. Put pan in oven. Roast tightly covered for 30 - 35 minutes per pound. Remove from oven. Place roast on cutting board. Loosely tent with foil. Allow to rest while making gravy.
• Mix flour and water to make a thin paste. You can do this with a wire whisk in a bowl, or put in a jar with a tightly fitting lid and shake vigorously. Make sure there are no lumps. Place roasting pan on burner on top of stove. Turn burner to medium heat. Scrape up any loose bits from the bottom of pan. Add 2 cups water. Bring to boil. Add flour slurry to pan. Using a wire whisk, stir continuously until a rich gravy forms. Pour into gravy boat. Serve alongside the sliced roast beef.

Steps:

• Slice garlic, then slice again into small sticks. Stab holes all over roast, inserting a garlic stick into each hole. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least a few hours. While oven is preheating to 350°, place roast in roaster pan, and rub with olive oil, then sprinkle all over with seasoning. Put some butter pats under roast and some on top. Roast 2 1/2 - 3 hours till nicely browned. Editor's Extra: Sometimes you get a cut of meat that is just not as tender as others, so if it doesn't slice tenderly, cover and cook it for another 40 minutes or so. I like to put baking potatoes in alongside during the last hour of roasting, and serve au jus over all.
