Time 9h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 8 oz package of fresh mushrooms
1 large sweet onion, cut in half and sliced.
1 3-4 pound boneless chuck roast
1 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 1 oz package, dried onion soup mix
1 14 oz can, beef broth.
1 8 oz can, tomato sauce
3 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dry italian seasoning
2 Tbsp cornstarch

Steps:

  • 1. Place mushrooms and onion in a lightly greased 5-to 6-qt. slow cooker.
  • 2. Sprinkle roast with pepper. Cook roast in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned.
  • 3. Place roast on top of mushrooms and onion in slow cooker. Sprinkle onion soup mix over roast; pour beef broth and tomato sauce over roast. Cover and cook on LOW 8 to 10 hours or until meat shreds easily with a fork.
  • 4. Transfer roast to a cutting board; cut into large chunks, removing any large pieces of fat. Keep roast warm.
  • 5. Skim fat from juices in slow cooker; stir in tomato paste and Italian seasoning. Stir together cornstarch and 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl until smooth; add to juices in slow cooker, stirring until blended. Increase slow cooker heat to HIGH. Cover and cook 40 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Stir in roast.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good options for pot roast. Look for a roast that has good marbling, as this will help keep it moist during cooking.
  • Brown the meat before cooking: Browning the meat helps to develop flavor and color. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat or in the slow cooker on the high setting.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to cook the pot roast will add flavor to the dish. Good options include beef broth, chicken broth, red wine, or even beer.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and nutrition to the pot roast. Common additions include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, and thyme.
  • Cook the pot roast on low and slow: The key to a tender pot roast is to cook it on low and slow. This will allow the meat to break down and become fall-apart tender.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker Italian pot roast is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a flavorful and comforting meal that the whole family will love. Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
