Yield: 6 cups
Ingredients
  • 3 - 3 1/2 pounds  boneless beef chuck pot roast
  • 2 large onions
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 14 ounce can broth
  • 1 tablespoon  Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons  dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon  dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon  cayenne pepper

In a medium bowl, combine broth, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, thyme, salt, and cayenne pepper. Pour over beef in cooker.
