Slow-Cooker Tuscan Pot Roast
Susie Cushner
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the roast on all sides. Transfer the roast to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker.
Step 2
To the fat remaining in the skillet, add the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables; transfer to the cooker. Pour the wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits; add the contents of the skillet to the cooker, along with the mushrooms, salt, oregano, and tomatoes (plus 1 cup of their liquid).
Step 3
Cook 8 hours on low heat, or 4 hours on high heat.

This was delicious. I served it with noodles and a salad and it was a great meal after work. I love to have something cooking while I'm at work. My son, a chef, liked it, too. I followed the directions and it came out perfectly. No need for a knife - the meet was so tender.

Made it today and had it tonight for dinner. I served it with rice and peas. Everyone liked it very much. And best of all, I have leftovers for the weekend.

I made this recipe several years ago when my husband was taking a medications for cancer that destroyed his tastebuds. This was the only thing he enjoyed eating. Now that he is back to normal he loves it even more and often requests it. I think its great and like to make it as one pot serves us for several dinners. Its also a leftover that he won't complain about.

Just made this over the weekend and it was a huge hit. I'm not sure why there is such a bad review on here, but I followed the directions as stated (browning the roast on all sides), etc. I had the crock pot on high for two hours then shifted to low because I needed it done in 6 hours. Well worth the wait. Just remember to make some egg noddles or potatoes or serve with a crusty baguette.

Hmmmmm, made this last night. I didn't think it was that great! It's not as simple as you might think....chopping, sauteing, mixing not-just-a-few ingredients... My crock pot gets super-hot even on low and I cannot get the cooking time right. The meat was dried out and not tasty. I'm passing on this recipe!

This is one of my husband favorite dinners. The depth and richness of flavor is something to be appreciated. I love it because its simple. Just sear the meat and put it in a crock pot and you are done. I love it!
