Sweet & Sour Roast

I do enjoy a cook-all-day slow cooker meal when we are out of the house the whole day.  So here's a nice long cooking dish that you can start in the morning and then not have to worry about until dinner time!

4 pound beef chuck roast
16 oz jar tomato sauce
3 cups carrots, peeled and chopped
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 large green bell pepper, diced
1 cup molasses
2/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup Agave nectar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons salt


Cut beef chuck roast into 1 inch cubes, place in slow cooker.  In a medium bowl combine; molasses, vinegar, agave, and spices.  Chop veggies.  Pour liquid mixture over beef then add the chopped veggies.  Allowing the mixture to sit while you chop the veggies helps all the flavors to blend well together.  Cover and cook on high 7-8 hours.   Serve over hot cooked rice.  YUM!
