I intended to make a beef roast with diced tomatoes in the slow cooker today. 

But had a little change in plans…I found a green tomato on the ground when sweeping through the garden last night.

My first thought was to fry it up, but I wanted to do something different. I thought adding it in with the roast would bring a different flavor to the typical beef roast!

I thought the roast with the green tomatoes was delightful!  The slow cooked green tomatoes gave the beefy a perfect tangy flavor…very unique!

So if you’ve got tomatoes growing in your garden, just take 1 large green one, slice it up and cook with a beef roast!  You won’t be disappointed! I was pleasantly surprised by how well this little “food experiment” turned out!

(And I did strain and save the juices to use for beef stock!)
