  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • ½ tsp. granulated garlic
  • 1 cup Jack Daniels whiskey
  • 1 lb. petite baby gold potatoes whole unless large; halve or quarter

  • 1 cup yellow onion sliced (one small onion)

Instructions

  • Season the roast on all sides with the salt, pepper, and granulated garlic and place in center of the crock pot.
  • Add the potatoes and baby carrots around the roast on the bottom.
  • Add the sliced onions and mushrooms.
  • Pour in the whiskey.
  • Evenly sprinkle both packets of the beefy onion Lipton soup mix all over everything.
  • Spoon over the cream of mushroom, again as evenly as possible.
  • Place the lid and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours or HIGH for 5-6.
  • When the meat is done and vegetables are soft, remove the roast and allow it to rest for a few minutes before shredding or slicing.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the veggies and place them in a bowl. Try to remove as much of the sauce from both the meat and veggies.
  • Whisk the sauce together to form the gravy.
  • To serve, return everything to the crockpot or plate on a serving platter, adding the sauce to a gravy boat.

Notes

If you want your sauce thicker: Make a cornstarch slurry using cold water and add it during step seven. Alternatively, a tablespoon of tomato paste could be used. Stir it in and allow the cooking liquid to heat through.
