Italian Style Roast
"Yet another version of the Italian roast. This is also cooked in the crockpot and is wonderful after a hard day at the office or for a lazy weekend meal. Serve over pasta of your choice with a side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal. This recipe was printed on the box for my new crocpot."

We also enjoyed this different twist on sometimes boring roast. The meat was moist & fall apart tender. Followed the recipe exactly. It wasn't specified to drain the tomatoes so I didn't. Made just the right amount of "gravy" for a 2 1/2 lb. roast. Thanks for a new idea! -
Oh so good and tender!!! I added extra carrots and potatoes cut in big chunks and we ate it without the pasta! Love it! -
What a wonderful recipe for these cold winter days. Put this in the crockpot before going to town, and when I walked back in the door, the aroma of this was sooooo gooooood!!! The dish itself was just as good as I thought it was going to be. Thanks for the great recipe. -
Very good! I can't really add any more than what the others have already said... The only thing I did differently was to add another can of tomatoes for a little more juice. I served it over egg noodles and we really enjoyed it! Thanks for a great weeknight dinner! -
Paula this was great. Quick and easy and it not only smelled awesome it tasted super! I did mine on high for the first 2 hours then on low for about 4-5 and it was perfect. A truly different way to have a chuck roast!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
