    3 cloves garlic, chopped
    3 tablespoons red pepper sauce (Tabasco)
    1 3-4 lb roast (any kind since it will cook all day)
    1 onion sliced thin
    3-4 potatoes peeled and chunked
    3-4 carrots peeled and chunked or 2 handfuls of baby carrots
    1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
    Salt and pepper to taste
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    In crockpot, mix together first 5 ingredients.  Add meat and vegetables. Spoon some of the soup mixture over meat and vegetables to distribute flavors.  Add salt and pepper to your taste.  Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours.  Remove meat and vegetables to serving tray.  Turn crock pot on high.  Mix cornstarch with water and add to broth mixture.  Stir to thicken gravy.  Pour gravy over meat and vegetables and serve.
    I use a 5-quart oval crockpot.  Increase or decrease ingredients to fit your crockpot.
