Best Ever Slow Cooker Italian Pot Roast Over Noodles

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef Chuck Roast
• 1 Tablespoon Cooking Oil
• 14-½ ounces, fluid Can Italian Style Stewed Tomatoes
• 6 ounces, fluid Can Italian Style Tomato Paste
• 2 whole Carrots, Chopped

• 1 Tablespoon Quick Cooking Tapioca
• 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
• ½ teaspoons Salt
• ½ teaspoons Pepper
• 1 whole Bay Leaf

Preparation Instructions

In a large skillet, brown roast on all sides in hot oil (sometimes I skip this step and it still turns out great). Transfer the roast to any size crock pot.

In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients (except noodles) and pour over meat. Cover and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours.

Discard bay leaf. Cut meat up (actually it just falls apart) and serve over hot cooked noodles.
