Italian Style Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 -4 garlic cloves, pressed
1 (2 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix (I use my Onion Seasoning Mix Onion Seasoning Mix.)
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, creshed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 lbs chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, diced
1 medium potato, diced
1 large celery rib, sliced
2 bay leaves
1 lb pasta, cooked as per package directions (I use bowties.)

Preparation

In a small mixing bowl, combine the tomato paste through pepper.
Rub mixture over the chuck roast and place roast in crockpot.
Add the remaining ingredients and any leftover rub; cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours on low.
Serve over cooked pasta.
Please note: If you have an older crockpot, it may be necessary to cook roast 8 to 10 hours. My new crockpot cooks in much less time.
