I grew up on a farm, and we ate beef often. I was so pleased to find this recipe 15 years ago, since it gives pot roast a new mouthwatering flavor. I'm always looking for no-fuss delicious meals, and this slow-cooked supper is definitely one of them.—Erica Warkentin, Dundas, Ontario

Ingredients

  • 12 small white potatoes, peeled
  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 3 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Trim fat from roast; cut in half. In a large skillet, brown roast in oil on all sides. Transfer to slow cooker.
  2. Reserve 1 tablespoon drippings; saute onion in reserved drippings until tender. Stir in the tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and salt. Pour over roast.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours or until meat is tender. Before serving, pour sauce into a skillet. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until reduced and thickened. Serve with potatoes and beef.
