Cajun seasoning adds kick to this tender beef roast that's served with a corn and tomato mixture. It is an unusual dish, but it's full of flavor. —Amber Zurbrugg, Alliance, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast (2-1/2 pounds)

  • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
