Step 1
Heat the oil in a 6-quart saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until it's well browned on all sides. Pour off any fat.
Step 2
Stir the Italian sauce in the saucepot and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 45 minutes.
Step 3
Add the potatoes and carrots to the saucepot. Cover and cook for 1 hour or until the beef and vegetables are fork-tender.
Italian-Style Pot Roast
I modified the recipe for 4 servings. I used a beef chuck roast and I seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic powder and basil and then breaded the roast with flour. I sautéed a little bit of white onion and some whole garlic cloves in olive oil. I transferred the onion and garlic to a crock pot and browned the roast in the remaining oil. I put the roast on top on the onion and garlic and added a few red potatoes (cut in half) and a few handfuls of baby carrots. I topped it off with the pasta sauce of my choice (used a chunky sauce) and a small can of sliced black olives and cooked in the crock pot for 4 hours. It was a delicious meal! My husband even liked it and he does not like to eat pot roast. Will definitely make again!
