Description

This is my “go-to” dish when we have company coming over and I don’t have time to cook after work. I just get up a little bit early in the morning and throw this together, then come home to the most HEAVENLY smelling house. It tastes just as good as it smells.

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
  • 2 stalks Celery, Chopped
  • 1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Quick Cooking Tapioca
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 whole Bay Leaf
  • 8 ounces, weight Package Of Wide Egg Noodles, Cooked

Preparation

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.

I made a variation of this for dinner last night – I used elk stew meat that I had sitting in my freezer instead of a pot roast and added mushrooms and man, it was good! :)

We tried this earlier in the week and it is really good. It was a tad greasy, so next time I think I’ll make sure I trim any fat that I can from the roast. Thank you for a great recipe!

This was so easy and delicious. My husband loved it! Mine turned out great, put it on at 10:00 on high for about and hour then turned it to low and it was perfect by 6:00. Used the standard size crockpot. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

tried this a second time by adding a second 14 oz. can of tomatoes. didn’t burn, but was a bit too tomatoey for everyone else in the family but me. meat was tender though. this just isn’t our style.

I am finally writing to thank you for posting this wonderful recipe. It is one of my all-time favorite crock pot recipes. Always tender and delicious, I never even had to tweak it at all. So rich and hearty!

I have made this twice, once for just us..once for friends, yesterday, for dinner, I doubled it..FANTASTIC..We love this. I do take the meat out, about an hour before dinner, and cut off the fat, and cut into pieces, or have shredded it as well, it is that fork tender. Mushrooms and peas are a great addition at this point, just throw back into the crock and keep on warm!

My husband and I thought this was fantastic but the children were not such fans. I love the Italian twist on pot roast, brilliant! I’ll be making this again whether the kids like it or not! :)

This recipe was really good, but IMO nothing spectacular. Great stick-to-your-ribs crockpot meal!
