Sweet Tomato Crockpot Pot Roast
Here at Lifetime Mothers, we love our crockpots! Are you a fan of crockpots? Do you prefer to have them cook all day, or overnight? We've been starting them in the evening and waking up to a delicious-smelling kitchen. (We do acknowledge that some people might not be ready to enjoy the aroma of dinner at 6am!)
Here is a recipe for pot roast that we made yesterday. It has a slightly sweet tomato sauce.
Hint: We like lots and lots of vegetables with our roasts, so we usually have the butcher cut the roast in half and cook it in TWO crockpots, thereby leaving plenty of room for vegetables. The recipe below is written for one crockpot.
1 bottle of strained tomatoes or two cans tomato sauce
brown sugar (we use dark brown)
1 chuck roast
1/2 large onion. Cut some slivers or small pieces off while you're at it.
1 - 2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut into chunks
kosher salt
black pepper, coarser grain is better
dark red jewel yams, peeled and cut into chunks
optional: replace some of the yams with carrot chunks
1. Combine tomato puree with brown sugar to taste.
2. Pour a little of this at the bottom of the crock pot.
3. Cut "pockets" in several places in the roast, and randomly insert onion and garlic pieces.
4. Message lots of kosher salt into the top and sides of your roast, and sprinkle with pepper.
5. Put roast in the crockpot with the unsalted side up, and then finish massaging salt into it. Don't forget the pepper!
6. Put in the veggies and the 1/2 onion.
7. Pour the tomato sauce over it all.
8. Cook on low for 10 - 12 hours.
