Slow-Cooker Sicilian Pot Roast - Diabetic Friendly
- 2 1/2 lbs well-trimmed top round roast or 2 1/2 lbs flat half beef brisket
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper

- 14 1/2 ounces diced Italian-style tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste with roasted garlic or (6 ounce) can Italian spices
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- Rinse the meat with cool water and pat it dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with some of the pepper.
- Coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and preheat over medium-high heat. Place the meat in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
- Place the mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers in a 3-quart slow cooker and top with the roast. Pour the tomatoes over the meat. Top with Italian seasoning.
