1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 tsp pepper
2/3 tsp salt
2 lb pot roast

1/2 tsp thyme

2 celery stalks, cut into small pieces

In a crockpot on low add all ingredients except the pasta. Let it cook for 6-8 hours. Pull the roast out and cut it into small pieces, put back into crock pot for 1/2 hour or so. Before serving cook Mrs. Leepers pasta according to cooking directions on package. Once the pasta is done, place aside. Then on on a seperate dish take out meat from crock pot and cover immediatly so it does not dry out. Place the rest of crock pot ingredients in a pan on stove heat and add more cornstarch as needed to make a gravy. When serving, place noodles on plate, then lay beef over that and cover with gravy. Serve with a baked potato and green vegetable. This is a huge hit and very filling!
