Here is what I will be making in my slow cooker this week.
Italian-Style Roast
Ingredients:
1- 6 oz can tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pkg dry onion soup mix
2 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 lbs chuck roast, trimmed of any excess fat
1 - 16 oz can tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium potato, chopped
1 large celery stalk, sliced
2 bay leaves
Directions:
In a small mixing bowl, combine the tomato paste, garlic, onion soup mix, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chuck roast and place the roast in the stoneware. Add the remaining ingredients and any leftover tomato sauce. Cover and cook on Low 8 to 10 hours or on High 4 to 5 hours. Makes 6 servings. You may double all the ingredients for a 5, 6, or 7-quart slow cooker.

In medium bowl, thoroughly combine all ingredients except noodles. Pour into lightly greased stoneware. Cover and cook on Low setting for 7 to 9 hours (on High setting for 2 to 3 hours.)Serve with hot buttered noodles, spooning sauce over top. 4 to 6 servings. Turkey Divan: Substitute cut-up cooked turkey for the chicken
