Spiced Pot Roast Recipe

By traciesparks

Just pour these ingredients over your pot roast and let the slow cooker do the work. Herbs and spices give the beef an excellent taste. I often serve this roast over noodles or with mashed potatoes, using the juices an a gravy.

Ingredients

• 1 boneless beef chuck roast (2-1/2 pounds)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 3 tablespoons tomato puree
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 4-1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2-1/4 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
