Spice Braised Pot Roast

Description

Just pour these ingredients over your pot roast and let the slow cooker do the work. Herbs and spices give the beef an excellent taste. I often serve this roast over noodles or with mashed potatoes, using the juices as a gravy.

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast (2-1/2 pounds)
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons tomato puree
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2-1/4 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • hot cooked egg noodles

Directions

  1. Place roast in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Mix all remaining ingredients except noodles; pour over roast. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 7-9 hours.
  2. Discard bay leaf. If desired, skim fat and thicken cooking juices. Serve pot roast with noodles and juices.
