  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      Lb.           pot roast (chuck works well)
   1      Large         onion -- chopped
   3      Large         carrots -- peeled and sliced
   1      can           diced tomatoes -- (16 Oz.)  with juice

Preparation:

I prefer to brown the roast on top of the stove beforehand, although this is not necessary. I just brown it on all sides in a little vegetable oil. Place the onion and carrots on the bottom of the crock pot (you'll need at least a 4 quart crock pot for this recipe). Put the meat on top and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the tomatoes over all and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours. This is particularly wonderful served with noodles or mashed potatoes alongside. If you can manage to do the prep work the night before, it's a good meal for those times when you'll be out all day and wantto come home to something comforting.
