Crockpot Pot Roast with Tomato Sauce

(from SallyV’s recipe box)

I cut this recipe out of the Every Day Food magazine years ago. It is one of my favorite ways to prepare pot roast.

Ingredients

  • 3 lb. beef roast
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 14-1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 1 can tomato soup
  • 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 t. dried thyme
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 1/2 lb. carrots, peeled & cut
  • 6 potatoes, peeled & cubed
  • 2 medium onions, peeled
  • 3 T. corn starch mixed in 1/2 C. water

Directions

  1. Season beef with salt & pepper; brown in oil for 5-10 minutes per side.

  2. In a large bow, mix tomatoes, soup, onion soup mix, garlic, thyme and salt & pepper to taste. Put half the sauce in the bottom of the crockpot; add the roast and pour the remainder of the sauce over the roast and add bay leaves.

  3. Cook on low for 8 hours. After 4 hours, add potatoes, carrots and onions. (Cooking the vegetables for only 4 hours keeps them from getting too mushy.)

  4. Remove meat and vegetables to a platter. Strain tomato sauce into a pan and thicken with the cornstarch. Serve with the meat and vegetables.
