except mushrooms into slow cooker and top with roast (cut roast in half if necessary to fit
easily). Spread mushrooms evenly over the top of the roast. Cover and cook on LOW setting
for 10 -12 hours.
If desired, turn to HIGH setting for the last hour to soften the vegetables and make gravy.
To thicken, make a smooth paste of 3 tablespoons flour and the water and stir into the slow
