Quick, easy, kid friendly elk roast

We have been really busy lately and eating lots of crock pot meals. Tonight's meal was a combo  of what we had left from that and wanting something a little different.  Normally I don't make gravy in the crock pot but today I did.

1 Elk roast
6 red potatoes
2 cans cream of whatever soup
Powered garlic
Powered onion 
salt
Water
Worcestershire sauce


So I should mention that my elk roast was still a little frozen as I took it out of the freezer right before bed the night before making this and when I got it out of the fridge it was still partly frozen.

Put roast in crock pot and cover both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.  
Cut potatoes into quarters and place around the elk roast
Cover and cook on low for 5 hrs
Combine 2 cans of cream of whatever soup (I used I chicken and one mushroom) with enough water to make it smoothish about 1 1/4 cups
Pour mixture over elk and potatoes, stir to coat potatoes
Add 3 splashes of Worcestershire sauce 
Cover, cook on low for 1.5 hours
 Remove Elk and slice

Keep potatoes and gravy in crock pot uncovered on warm for about 15 minutes to allow the gravy to thicken.

I will be honest it is not the best looking dinner, see..
But it is very yummy and my kids love it!

We had apples and carrots with ours.  You could add the carrots in with the potatoes but my kids love to make the carrots say crunch so I don't normally cook them.
