Picture Perfect Cooking

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.
