Looks delicious. We do something similar a lot. When the kids were little and the house was chaos, we started doing chuck roast in a crock pot. Just throw everything in and then you can get on with your day and have a nice warm meal when everyone returns home. Not quite as perfect as doing one proper but still good.
I've done the crock pot, too, when time is challenging. but I had the time for this one, so might as well, spend it. The crock pot, truly does us bail out on those days!
