Crock Pot Roast Beef

Small to medium size rump roast
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 envelope brown gravy mix
1 individual size serving apple sauce
2 cups water
salt and pepper, to taste
1 small bag sliced carrots
2 medium to large size potatoes, cut up
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced (optional)

Directions:
Sear the roast in frying pan with small amount of oil. Sear it well on all sides. II skipped this step). Spray crock pot with Pam, Put roast, then vegetables in crock pot. Mix envelope mixes with water and applesauce, then pour over all.

Set crock pot on low and let it cook for at least 8-10 hours. I let mine cook for about 14 hours. The gravy came out really thick and good, meat was falling apart, and all the veggies were super tender.
