Prepare the Gravy
After the cooking time is up, remove the roast and place it on a plate. Tent it with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Skim off any excess grease from the surface of the gravy in the slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Stir this slurry into the crockpot to thicken the gravy. Increase the heat to HIGH and let it thicken for about 20 minutes.
