Simply Home: Italian Beef Roast

Crock-pots.  I love them!  Home feels  more…..well…..homey, when there is something cooking all day and we are anticipating a cozy meal.

On the menu today:

Slow Cooker Italian Beef Roast:

1 4lb Roast

1 Package Zesty Italian salad dressing mix

1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 cup water

1-2 tsp. Italian seasoning or Italian Herb seasoning grinder

(I like McCormick Italian Herb Seasoning Grinder)

Rinse roast and place in slow cooker.  In a small bowl, mix remaining ingredients.  Pour over roast.  (If using an Italian herb grinder, grind over top of roast.)  Cover and cook on low-heat for 8 to 10 hours, or cover and cook on high for about 5 to 6 hours. 

Once finished, I top roast with sautéed onions, and serve it with buns that have been toasted in the oven with butter.
