How To Make crock pot pot roast w/ red wine gravy

Step 1

Coat Chuck roast with Olive oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Rub garlic on both sides of each piece of meat, rubbing in salt and pepper with it. Add Cherry Coke to bottom of crock pot. Add half of the bag of carrots on the bottom. Add and arrange meat evenly in crock pot. Sprinkle 1 1/2 packets of Onion soup mix over the meat, reserving the rest to finish the top. Add Potatoes, Mushrooms, Onion, and remaining carrots. Pour Red Wine all over the top. Set Crock Pot on low and cook for 8-10 hours. About halfway through, add more salt and pepper if desired. 20 minutes before serving, add mixture of Cornstarch/flour and water (mixed well) to crock pot, and stir. Juice will thicken into a thin gravy.
