"So yummy! Just throw ingredients together and bake, it's that simple. This is a great dish for cold winter days to warm you up. My mother made this as I was growing up. I have no clue where she got the recipe, but it's a must have in your recipe box!!!"

Never send a man grocery shopping for a recipe that specifically states "do not increase amounts of ingredients". :) DH came home with 3.59 pounds of bottom round roast (which I cubed), a 29 ounce can of diced tomatoes and a 28 ounce can of tomato sauce. I cooked it all for 8 hours in the slow cooker on high because my oven was being used for baking Christmas cookies all day. Although a bit "tomatoey" (which was our fault), this was easy and turned out well. I did cut back on the salt, but would leave it out altogether next time and just let each person decide for themselves if they would like to add salt and pepper. If using canned diced tomatoes, I am sure you could use 8 ounces tomato paste instead of tomato sauce. Thanks for sharing!

I am a registered nurse. I love to cook and my children (ages 10, 10, 11, and 14 y.o.) love to cook with me. We are always looking for new and fun recipes to try. We're not picky and love to try new things. My husband, on the other hand, is very picky so when we score with him we know it's a winner.
