Ingredients
- 3 lb bottom round roast
- 24 oz tomato and garlic spaghetti sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Instructions
- Pour one jar of pasta sauce into the slow cooker. (I used a 6 quart Crock Pot.)
- Add the roast. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Top with a few tablespoons of the pasta sauce.
- Cover and cook the roast on low for 7-8 hours, until tender.
- Once the roast is done cooking, slice or shred the roast. I used two forks to shred it. Return the roast to the sauce in the slow cooker, stir and enjoy.

- Serving suggestions: Serve the Italian pot roast over mashed potatoes, pasta, or in a sub sandwich.
