Cooking Time: You have two options for cooking:
- High Setting (5 hours): Cover the crock pot and cook on the high setting for approximately 5 hours, or until the roast is tender.
- High to Low Setting (8 hours): Alternatively, cover the crock pot and cook on the high setting for one hour, then reduce the setting to low and continue cooking for an additional 7 hours, until the meat is tender.
-
Serve: Once the roast is cooked to perfection, slice the meat and serve it hot.
Recipe Notes:
- Slicing the Roast: Slicing the roast in half before cooking ensures that it cooks evenly and allows the flavors to penetrate the meat more effectively.
- Tomato Sauce: Opt for no-salt-added tomato sauce to control the sodium content of the dish.
- Cooking Time: Adjust the cooking time based on your preference for the roast’s tenderness. Longer cooking times will result in a more tender and flavorful roast.
- Leftovers: This pot roast makes excellent leftovers! Store any remaining meat and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
