This Zesty Slow Cooker Italian Pot Roast is a no-fuss meal that's great for family dinners. Just toss the meat and veggies into your slow cooker and let them simmer to tenderness while you go about your day. That's one of the best things about slow cooker pot roast recipes... they basically cook themselves and then you have a delicious dinner waiting when the day is done. This easy recipe from Campbell's is one of our favorites.

Notes

NOTE: To roast garlic, place 1 whole garlic bulb onto a square of aluminum foil. Drizzle with vegetable oil. Wrap the foil tightly around the garlic. Roast at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until the garlic is soft. Peel and chop the garlic.

RECIPE TIP: For thicker gravy, mix 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth. Remove the beef and vegetables from the cooker. Stir the flour mixture into the cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 10 minutes or until the mixture boils and thickens.

This is a really flavorful roast. I made this last night for dinner, and we all really enjoyed it. I used some left over homemade tomato soup that I had made the night before. I just left out the water that was called for. I will definitely make this again! The smell that came from my kitchen was wonderful! This is a keeper for me!
