Add two packets of beefy onion seasoning into the pot with the roast.

Pour in one big container of beef stock.

Add whole mushrooms to the pot without chopping them.

Cover the pot and cook on medium temperature for the first hour and a half, essentially power boiling.

At 3 and a half hours in, add the corn to the pot.

Cover and simmer on medium low for another 30 minutes until the total cooking time reaches 4 hours.
