Beef stew-Crock or not to crock

My husband loves this stew. Apparently, so does Ash as Chris had to share 2 bowls of it with him!

2 lbs round roast or other beef you prefer
4 large potatoes, peeled & cubed
3 carrots, peeled & chopped
1 medium white onion, chopped
3 cups reduced sodium beef broth
2 tbsp Mrs Dash onion & herb
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch

Cut up your potatoes, carrots, onion & beef & place in your crock pot or large soup pot. Whisk cornstarch into beef broth & pour into pot over meat & vegetables. Add seasonings & stir. Cook on high for 5 hours for crockpot or simmer on medium for about 1 hour or until vegetables fork tender.
