Season roast with salt, pepper & garlic. Put roast into oven and broil 20 minutes to remove fat. First place onion in bottom of Crock Pot; then roast with remaining ingredients [except pineapple and cornstarch/water] (I mix the ingredients together and then pour them on). Cover and cook. Last 1/2 hour add 1 can pineapple chunks. Cooking time: Low – 10-12 hours. High – 4-5 hours. To thicken gravy: Blend 2 T. cornstarch with 2 T. cold water. Set crock- pot on high and add paste.
