A lot of the new recipes I try come from other bloggers, but this is from the Better Homes & Garden website. My Nanny has subscribed to BHG for as long as I can remember and they always have tasty recipes to try. Their version is made in a Dutch oven, but I made mine in a slow cooker and it was delicious. It is a perfect Sunday supper idea.
Beef chuck roast, 2 to 3 pounds
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
Season the roast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil and then brown the roast on both sides in the hot oil.
Once the meat is brown, set it aside on a plate to make the sauce. Add the onion and garlic to the leftover oil and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef broth and Italian seasoning. Bring this to a boil for about 3 minutes.
Spray your slow cooker with non-stick spray and pour about a cup of the sauce into the crock. Place the roast in the crock and cover with the rest of the sauce. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the roast is cooked through.
Picture Perfect Cooking 
Anything prepared in the slow cooker generally turns out well. The roast would be good over polenta .
Yes it would! Sorry I am so late responding!
This looks delicious! I’m pinning this to try later. I think I’d use my slow cooker as well. Thanks for sharing!
