Delicious Pot Roast

Pot roast has always been a favorite main dish, and there are so many good reasons. It’s filling and satisfies even the hungriest person.

It’s versatile. You can add whatever seasonings you like to give it more flavor.

And it’s absolutely delicious, no matter how you make it. In fact, I’ve never met a pot roast I didn’t like.

Crock Pot Garlic Tomato Roast Beef Ingredients

You’ll be blown away by how few ingredients go into this delicious meal. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Crock Pot Garlic Tomato Roast Beef

Before you begin, gather all of the ingredients so you have them close at hand. This way, you won’t have to stop what you’re doing and hunt for anything.

Spray the inside of a 2-quart slow cooker. Or if you’re cooking a larger roast, use one that has at least a 4-quart pot.

Now it’s time to start working on the recipe. First, place the roast in the bottom of the greased pot.

Secondly, sprinkle the minced garlic on top. Since I use minced garlic from a jar, I drop it from a spoon.

Next, pour the entire contents of the can of diced tomatoes over the roast.

If you’re cooking a larger roast, use 2 cans of tomatoes.

Although the tomatoes have some salt, I still like to add a little bit of salt and a lot of pepper. You can add as much as you like or leave it out.

Keep in mind that you can always add more salt later if it needs it, but you can’t take it out.

Now, put the lid on the pot and cook on high for 1 hour. Turn the heat down to low and cook for another 3-4 hours or until the meat is fall-apart tender.

At this point, I shredded the meat, but you don’t have to. You can slice it if you prefer.

Serve this delicious roast beef over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. Or if you slice it, you can serve it beside your favorite side dishes.

We get 4 meals out of this, but if you have light eaters or small children, you can probably serve 6.

Tips for Cooking Roast Beef in a Crock Pot

You’ll need 1/4 to 1/2 pound of roast per person, depending on their size and appetite.

A Crock Pot cooks slowly, which causes the meat to be very tender. If you want to slice it, carefully lift it from the pot with support beneath it. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before cutting it.

If the roast is thicker than a couple of inches, cook it on low for 1-2 hours longer.

You can add vegetables to the pot if you want. Wait until the last couple of hours before you add them, or they will be mushy.

Sometimes I do that, but most of the time, I cook my vegetables as separate side dishes.

More Helpful Hints for Cooked Roast Beef

You can keep leftover roast beef in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days. Then reheat it on the stovetop, in the oven, or in the microwave until it’s hot.

If you’re unable to use the roast beef within a few days, you can freeze it in an airtight container for a couple of months. Or you can double wrap it in plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
