Italian Style Roast

• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 2 -4 garlic cloves, pressed
• 1 (2 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix (I use my Onion Seasoning Mix Onion Seasoning Mix.)
• 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
• 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, creshed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 lbs chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
• 1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 medium potato, diced
• 1 large celery rib, sliced
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 lb pasta, cooked as per package directions (I use bowties.)

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the tomato paste through pepper.
2. Rub mixture over the chuck roast and place roast in crockpot.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and any leftover rub; cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours on low.
4. Serve over cooked pasta.
5. Please note: If you have an older crockpot, it may be necessary to cook roast 8 to 10 hours. My new crockpot cooks in much less time.
