Pot Roast

I'm so happy I was able to use the slow cooker we got for our wedding gift from my aunt and uncle. They got us a cook book just for the slow cooker and I tabbed many recipes that I'm eager to try. For this past Sunday's dinner I had planned on using it for the first time to make a pot roast! I wasn't too crazy about pot roast when I was little, but thought I'd like it much more as an adult. So Sunday morning about 10am I put in all the ingredients and let the crock pot work it's magic for 8.5 hours.... and dinner was served at 6pm.

Here's the recipe that was a hit with my husband...

Ingredients:
2.5-3lb beef chuck roast
5-6 medium russet potatoes
1/4 large white onion
1 can diced tomatoes
oregano
garlic salt
2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:
1) In a skillet add olive oil and heat up pan on medium. When it's nice and hot, brown all sides of the roast. Drain the fat from the pan, and then add the roast to the slow cooker.

2) Cut up your potatoes in quarters or halves (whatever you choose). Cut up the onion in large sections. Add onions and potatoes to the slow cooker. Next, pour the entire can of diced tomatoes on the top and add some oregano and garlic salt to taste. I mixed this around just a bit.

3) Turn on the slow cooker to LOW and let it cook for 8-10 hours.
