Mmmm, Crockpot Pot Roast

Sometimes you just need some good, old fashioned comfort food, right? This does the trick and is so easy you can’t believe it.

1 roast (Boneless chuck was on sale, so that’s what I got – any roasting meat will do)

1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes

carrots (cut any way you like, any size you like – I had some whole carrots and some baby carrots, I used both)

onions quartered (I used 6 – again use what you like)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

(I was out of parsley, or I would have added that too)

In a large pan, (or stove top safe crock pot insert) brown the meat on both sides, remove set aside,

add the carrots and onions and let them brown a little

Place the meat back on top of the vegetables – if you’re doing it in a separate pan, transfer the veggies to the crockpot insert and then place the roast on top.

Pour the tomatoes over the meat, add the herbs ad stir a little just to make sure the herbs get into the tomatoes.

Set the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours.

Really, really good.  Next time I’ll add potatoes and lots more vegetables.  I might even make two so that everyone could have it for lunch for a couple of days.

You could also add potatoes, celery, turnips, any hearty root vegetable would be great.Similar Posts:
