Place all vegetables except mushrooms in the crock pot and top with roast(cut roast in half, if necessary to fit easily) Spread mushrooms evenly over top of roast. Cover and cook on low setting for 7 to 10 hours. If desired, turn to high setting during last hour to soften vegetables and make a gravy. To thicken gravy, make a smooth paste of the 3 Tbsp flour and the water amd stir into the crock pot. Season to taste before serving.
