Slow Cooker Pot Roast and Gravy

I made this yesterday. Taletha and I LOVED it. I've never made a roast in the crock pot and I was skeptical about my abilities and the taste but was really, really yummy.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast and Gravy
4-5 lb roast (I actually used a 2.5 lb rump roast)
1 pkg onion soup mix
2-4 c. water
1/4 c. flour
1/3 c. cold water

Put roast in crock pot. Sprinkle with onion soup mix. Add water-- enough to come about 1/2 way up sides of roast. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Remove roast and put in microwave or oven to keep warm.

Turn drippings up to high. Mix flour and water in small bowl until smooth. Add to crock pot mixture. Mix until smooth (mine had a few lumps but they went away). Cover and let thicken. (The thickening part was taking a while so I added more flour/water. It took about 1/2 hour to get the right consistency.)

Baked Beans

So, here is the recipe. I now don't have to be the only one to bring these to family parties. The recipe I have is smaller, so this is the doubled version (this will make a whole crock pot). If you want less, just cut it in half.

1 pound ground beef
1 pound bacon, chopped
2 medium onions, minced

Cook the above together until meat is cooked - drain and put in the crock pot.

2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 16 oz cans of red kidney beans, drained
2 16 oz cans of pork and beans
2 15 oz cans of butter beans (you can find small butter beans only at Wal-Mart), drained
2/3 C. brown sugar
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. barbecue sauce (it really doesn't matter what kind)
1/2 C. ketchup
2 Tbsp mustard
4 Tbsp. molasses

Mix all the together in the crock pot, and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Stir after a few hours.
