Super easy. Super good. Gather your ingredients and go!
You need:
- 1 chuck roast or arm roast (I used a big chuck roast this time)
- 1 onion, sliced thinly
- a few cloves of garlic
- 1 can of fire roasted tomatoes (I used Muir Glen, but it is still unclear as to whether these are yet BPA free) You can also use 1 cup of organic tomato sauce– turns out equally as good with no fear of BPAs.
- 1 cup balsamic vinager
- 1 heaping tsp. each of: sea salt, pepper, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika
1. Slice onion and throw into the bottom of your crockpot. Scatter garlic on top of the onions. (Feel free to add more vegetables if you like. Sometimes I add carrots, peppers and / or mushrooms as well.)
2. Mix your spices together and rub into the pot roast on all sides and place on top of onions and garlic.
3. Pour tomatoes (or tomato sauce) over the roast.
4. Pour balsamic over the top.
5. Cook on “low” for at least 10 hours. I usually put this together at night and let it cook on “low” all night. I then set the crockpot to “warm” and let it go until dinner time.
6. Roast will be fall apart tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and top with the onions and some of the liquid. Enjoy!

I just wanted to let you know that I’m about to make this roast for the second time in 3 weeks! It’s delicious AND easy! I like to serve it over polenta, it seems so fancy!
Sarah, I’m glad you like it! Thanks for letting me know! Have you tried my other pot roast recipe? You can search it under “Crazy Good Coffee Pot Roast”… that’s really easy and good (crazy good) too!
I made this tonight and let me just say…AMAZING! So glad I stumbled upon it while looking for crockpot recipes. I will definitely be making it again! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I just ate this for day three in Whole30. Amazingly good! My mom will have it over rice. I just had some roasted carrots. Next time (very soon!) I will add baby carrots and baby portobellos, and serve atop spaghetti squash. Major yummy!
