ingredients
- 3 -4 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (4 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
- 1⁄2 cup dry red wine
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can whole canned Italian-style tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups baby carrots, cut in half
- 1 large onion, large dice
- 4 garlic cloves, diced
directions
- In large skillet, over high heat, brown beef roast on both sides in hot oil.
- Remove roast from skillet and place into slow cooker.
- Place vegetables in bottom of crock pot. In a separate bowl, mix the dry onion soup, the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, sugar and red wine. Pour this mixture over the roast.
- Cover; cook on low setting for 6 to 7 hours or until roast and vegetables are tender.
- If you would like a thicker sauce, thicken the sauce one half hour before serving. In a small jar with a lid, place 2 tablespoons flour and 5 tablespoons water. Cover and shake until there are no lumps. Add this mixture to the crock pot, stirring well and let the gravy thicken on its own for the last half hour.
- I serve this dish with garlic cheese mashed potatoes and a simple green salad. We never have any leftovers! This is perfect for one of those busy work or shopping days, as it practically makes itself.

Yummy! Smells great while it cooks. Mine needed 7 hours on low which surprised me, my crockpot usually cooks pretty fast. Served with a side of pasta for a lovely meal. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2007. -
Tender and flavorful. I skipped the browning in the skillet and just put everything in the slow cooker. As per your suggestion in step five, I did thicken the gravy but used cornstarch in place of flour. Awesome with creamy mashed potatoes. Thanx for this great easy recipe; I'll use it again.

I love to cook! I find that once I see a recipe, I end up changing it, so a recipe could end up being a bit different than it's original intent. My favorite cookbook is anything by Paula Deen.
