Unusual Slow Cooker Recipe - Easy Pot Beef

My aunt and I spent Friday sifting through the shoebox of recipes.  We sorted them to handwritten and print.  She kept a few to try and will return. I got to see many of the recipes in the box and this recipe was a handwritten one I had flagged to definitely try as I have never read a similar one before!
