40 Clove Garlic Beef

As I've said many times before, the slow cooker is my friend. This recipe takes a bit of extra preparation by peeling the garlic cloves, but it's so worth it! The roast is so incredibly tender and flavorful. I love eating the cloves! I served this with mashed potatoes and the cooking liquid was a great 'gravy'. I'm putting it in quotes because it's a bit thinner than normal gravy :)
