Notes
- If the gravy is not as thick as you like it once the beef and veggies are cooked, you have 2 options:
- you can remove the beef and veggies from the crockpot, and add more cornflour mixed with water to the liquid in the slow cooker and cook the gravy it for a further 20 minutes or until it's thicker
- you can transfer the liquid to a pan set over a medium heat on the stove top, add 1-2 tablespoons of cornflour mixed with water to it, and simmer it until it thickens
