    Italian Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe

    Cooking, Easy Recipes, Main Dishes, Slow Cooker Jump to Recipe

    Try this Italian twist on the traditional slow cooker pot roast recipe. This dish, which is served over penne pasta, is bursting with Italian flavors, including garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and roasted red peppers.

    Have you ever had a restaurant meal you can’t get out of your head?

    For weeks now, I’ve been thinking about a delicious Italian Pot Roast I had at our neighborhood pizza joint.

    Italian Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe

    Pot roast is not the sort of thing I normally order when I go out for Italian since I love traditional pasta dishes. But the Italian Pot Roast was on special, and it sounded different and good and flavorful. So, I ordered it…

    And I’ve been dreaming about making an at-home version ever since.

    Italian Pot Roast includes many of your traditional pot roast ingredients, with the addition of Italian flavors and lots of garlic. Then it’s served over penne pasta.

    Or at least that’s the version I was trying to recreate from my restaurant experience.

    My recipe is a mashup of several Italian Pot Roast recipes I found online, from The Pioneer Woman, Rachael Ray, Better Homes & Gardens, and Southern Living, plus ingredients and flavors I remembered from the restaurant meal.

    Because pot roast is best when it’s cooked all day, I made my version in the slow cooker. As you can see, it looks like the Italian flag when you toss everything into the pot.

    When it’s done, it just looks plain yummy! Comfort food at its best!

      Mish Mash is GREAT! That is the way we come up with a lot of recipes. We take a look at the ingredients and judge which ones we like ( or have in the inventory) and go from there. This sounds really good. I don’t usually think of Italian and pot roast but it sounds really good especially since the cool weather has come upon us. Thank you for inspiring me for a different Italian meal 🙂
