Ingredients

  • 1 (2 pound) beef chuck pot roast
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into large wedges
  • 2 green bell peppers, cut into large wedges
  • 1 yellow onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 sweet onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 (6 ounce) can tomato paste, or to taste

  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Stir in the tomato paste and red wine vinegar. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, seasoned salt, salt, and ground black pepper.
  2. Cover, and cook on Low until the beef is tender, 7 to 8 hours. Remove beef, and shred into long strands using two forks. Return the meat to the slow cooker and combine with the vegetables.
