I've never made a roast with a tomato sauce but my entire family loved it. I followed the ingredients exactly - didn't need to change a thing. Thanks.

I didnt have time to put in the crock pot, and had boneless beef ribs. I used my black roasting pan, but otherwise followed the directions failry closely. Used only 2 tsp black pepper, and that was still kick enough for us. Served for a small dinner party, and it was a HUGE hit!! I am already making it again over the weekend. This dish is wonderful, a must try.

I really wanted to like this recipe, but unlike most reviewers, I found the pepper to be too strong. I also found the gravy flavor amplified the pepper (and I had, unfortunately, ladled it all over my veggies). All in all, the meat was tender enough (after cooking an additional 2 hours), but I think I will try using a top round instead of a chuck roast next time. I also found the sauce to be very sweet. Perhaps the ketchup, brown sugar, and carrots added at the end caused this to happen. I probably wouldn't make this again, as I am looking for a more savory sauce instead.

I made this last Sunday. So easy and really good. I pretty much followed the recipe and it was very tasty. I little kick, but not too much. We don't like really spicy foods, so this was just right.Probably my favorite slow cooker pot roast recipe. I used a 3 lb roast and cooked it low for about 6 hours.

I'm not usually a roast beef fan, but this was truly delicious. I too was afraid of the amount of pepper, but it works. I also added 4 carrots, 4 parsnips, & 2 potatoes half way through the time, they were a bit over cooked next time I will cut the veggies chunkier and may even add some turnip. Best ever roast beef.

This was wonderful!!! Great flavor....my Husband raved about it. Used low sodium vegetable stock and italian diced tomatoes. Love how you can switch it up and it still is delicious.

The sauce was incredible in this recipe. Very easy to prepare and the flavor was awesome. Made the recipe as it states except I forgot to add the stewed tomatoes. My only negative comment is that the chuck roast was fatty and had gristle to it, but that is not the fault of the recipe itself. Will definitely make again using a different type roast.
