Slow Cooker Recipe

Powerhouse Beef Roast with Tomatoes, Onions, and Peppers

Powerhouse Beef on Plate

In need of a bit more energy this week? Powerhouse Beef Roast with Tomatoes, Onions, and Peppers is a perfect way to jump-start your week in a mighty way. The meat is so tender and the vegetables so flavorful, you’ll want to take the leftovers and make Beef Burritos on Tuesday…if there are any leftovers. And before your know it, Friday will be here and you’ll still have energy for the weekend.

We served ours with Rosemary New Potatoes and Chocolate Mud Cake.

    I buy some really cheap cuts of steak or roasts and use a recipe similar to this and serve it over egg noodles.. Awesome!

    Another easy one – frozen or thawed chuck roast – 1 can creme of celery soup and 1 can cream of mushroom soup. Add all in your crockpot, set for all day or in a roaster in the oven set at 220 degrees. Forget it until ready to eat. Serve over noodles………..delicious!

    I made this with beef shank. It was wonderful! We will have this dish again, served with brown rice. 8)

    This is the best roast I have ever made. My husband says it is the best he has ever had anywhere – ever. THANKS!

    I have made this using round bone lamb chops. We called it Spanish style lamb chops. Very good. I’m trying it with chicken next. Thanks!

    We tried this and loved it; Served it over buttered noodles. MMM!

    For the second time around, we substituted a pork roast (butt end) for the beef, and it was even better!

    For a little added oomph, my daughter and I put a dollop of sour cream on the top when serving. Mmm!

    My husband says this recipe is “definitely a do-again!”

    I made this recipe last week. Served with a pile of rice sprikled with cilantro. Awesome. This recipe is a keeper. Definately!

    It was very good, it gives roast a different taste. I did not brown roast first, I just threw it all in the crock pot. We ate it the first night has roast and then I reheated the left overs, shredded it and served it on rice. Great both ways.
