Italian Crock Pot Roast

Submitted by chef blade

"The garlic in this dish actually sweetens with the long cooking time. Thinly slice the roast, layer over wide egg noodles. Ladle with the sauce and top with Parmesan!"

This is my new favorite Pot Roast recipe. This is definitely a keeper. I followed the recipe exactly but next time I will add mushrooms and potatoes which I think will be great with the gravy this makes. I did thicken it at the end with cornstarch. Thanks for a great recipe.

Took this to a pot luck supper last night. It was a great hit. It had a rich blend of spice. Poured the leftover stock and cubed the beef over steamed rice the next day really tasty. Thanks for posting! Barb

This was delicious! I added turnips and mushrooms, but otherwise followed the recipe. It called for 8 cloves of garlic, and said to put 8 halves in the slits. The other 4 cloves I minced and added to the sauce. While the meat was dry until I chopped it up and put it in with the sauce, served with the sauce, it was delicious, and even better the 2nd day.

We thought this was fabulous. My crockpot cooks hot so I cooked this on low for 4.5 hours and the meat was just falling apart. I added mushrooms and minced garlic. Served this over pasta and we were in heaven. The smell while this is cooking is INSANE! Enjoy!

FINALLY, a roast without "Cream of Anything" soup, dry soup mixes, etc...too salty when you use that stuff...THIS is what Roasts should taste like, DELICIOUS!!
