Roast Beef

Last week when I knew we needed something to eat for meals the next day, but we wouldn't be home due to the temple and Education Week and work, and we didn't want to eat out, well, I got this idea, and it turned out really well.
Wednesday night before we went to bed I put in the crockpot:
a small beef roast
a cut up green pepper and half a red pepper
1n onion cut up
2 16-oz cans of whole tomatoes
Canadian steak seasoning
And put it on low all night long.
IN the rice cooker I put:
2 cups brown rice
4 cups water

Then we went to bed. During the night I heard the rice cooker going off, but managed to ignore it until sometime after midnight, when I got up and unplugged it and put the rice in the fridge. Then, in the morning, I shredded the beef from the roast, stirred it back in with the veggies, and then spooned a cup of it into a container over a cup of the rice, topped it with cooked green beans from the garden, and there was our lunches for the day. It was really, really good.

This looks delicious! I might have to try it with one of the roasts I have sitting in my freezer. Thanks!
