Cajun Pot Roast with Sweet Peppers
 
Ingredients:
1 (2-2 1/2 lb.) boneless beef chuck pot roast
1 Tbsp. salt-free Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp. bottled hot pepper sauce
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can low-salt diced tomatoes, undrained
1 medium green sweet pepper, cut into strips
1 medium red sweet pepper, cut into strips
1 medium yellow sweet pepper, cut into strips
Cracked black pepper, optional
 
Directions:
Trim fat from meat.  Sprinkle Cajun seasoning evenly over meat; rub in with your fingers.  If necessary, cut meat to fit into a 3 1/2-4 quart slow cooker.  Place meat in slow cooker.  Add hot pepper sauce and 1/8 tsp. black pepper.  Pour undrained tomatoes over meat in slow cooker.
 
Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8-10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4-5 hours, adding pepper strips for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
 
Transfer meat to a cutting board.  Slice meat and transfer to a serving platter.  Drain vegetables, discarding cooking liquid.  Serve meat with vegetables.  If desired, sprinkle individual servings with cracked black pepper.
