Balsamic Pot Roast

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary back. Our anniversary was on a Saturday so we celebrated on a  Friday Night by  getting a baby sitter, enjoying a wonderful dinner at Olive Garden, seeing a moving and stopping at Dairy Queen. I still wanted to do something special for our anniversary on our anniversary, but I didn't want to work hard and slave in the kitchen all day. I had seen a recipe for a Balsamic and Onion Pot Roast on Pinterest and that sounded like a fancy yet easy dinner for a lazy anniversary. I made a few changes to eat to make it easier and added some potatoesand garlic because I love garlic. It was very good. I'd make it again.

Balsamic Pot Roast

• 1 beef roast
• olive oil
• steak seasoning
• 1 large onion, thickly sliced
• several cloves of garlic
• 3 potatoes, cubed
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce

Rub meat with steak seasoning. Heat olive oil in a pan and brown both sides of the meat well in the olive oil. Place potatoes, onions and garlic in slow cooker. Place meat on top of vegetables. Use 1/2 cup of water to de-glaze pan that the meat was browned in. Add that water to the crockpot as well as the balsamic  vinegar and tomato sauce. Let cook on low 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. (You can skim the fat out of the liquid and reduce it in a sauce pan to serve as a thicker sauce. I just served it as it was, but it could have been a little thicker.)
