Lazy Red Wine Crock Pot Roast

2 cups red wine
1/2 cup water
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried rosemary or fresh rosemary
4 lbs trimmed beef roast
1 to 2 teaspoon cornstarch

Place the roast in the crock pot and season with pepper.

Mix the first five ingredients together and pour over the roast. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.

Remove the roast to rest on a platter. Turn the crock pot to high. Whisk the cornstarch into a little cold water then into the juices to thicken.
