Skinny, Hearty, Italian-Style Pot Roast

Skinny, Hearty, Italian-Style Pot Roast

Ingredients
  

  • 3 baking potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 2 cups baby carrots, whole
  • 4 stalks celery, each cut into 4
  • 2 medium onions, sliced
  • 3 pound boneless rump roast, cut off any fat
  • tablespoons Spice of Life’s “Italian Traditions“ spices (see shopping tip) or 1 tablespoon of each dried basil and oregano
  • 2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • ⅛-¼ teaspoons red pepper flakes, to taste (red pepper flakes are a bit spicy)
  • 1 (14 oz.) can tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste

Instructions
 

  • In the bottom of a 4-6-qt crock pot, add the potatoes, celery, carrots, and half the onions.  Place roast on top.
  • Sprinkle on top of roast all dried seasonings, garlic, salt and pepper. Spread all over roast.
  • In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, tomato sauce and paste.  Pour tomato mixture over roast. Top with remaining onions.
  • Cover and cook on high setting for about 4-5 hours and about 7-8 hours on low.  Check at lower number as cooking time may vary depending on the brand of slow cooker. To check for doneness make a small slice in the center of roast to see if it’s cooked through. Cook less time if you like it more rare inside.
