Italian pot roast

Pot Roast is something that I enjoy on those cooler winter nights but it's also perfect on those days where I don't feel like cooking much. I made this last month around Easter while Jace was in Texas. This Pot Roast is super easy to make and the original recipe is from Rachael Ray. The full recipe can be found HERE. I have never used tomato paste, balsamic vinegar and flour in the crockpot before making it but it worked well. I did not use Rosemary or mushrooms like the original recipe called for. 

Ingredients:
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp flour
2 1/2 pounds beef chuck roast
salt and pepper
carrots, cut into thick pieces
potatoes, cut into thick pieces
1 tbsp garlic powder

Directions:
In a slow cooker, stir together the tomato paste, vinegar and flour until blended. 

Season the pot roast with salt and pepper and add to the slow cooker. Scatter the carrots, potatoes and garlic powder around the meat. Cook on low until the meat is tender, about 8 hours. Slice and enjoy! PS this must have been so good that I forgot to take photos of the final product :( Hopefully you will still love it!
