Best ever pot roast recipe

I made a pot roast last night for dinner, and I have to say, it may be the best ever. I thought I would share the recipe with you. I have never made pot roast before, so here is my new recipe....
No, I don't have a picture, it went fast.

1 roast (2-4 lbs.)
1 large white onion- cut up in decent size chunks.
1/2 bell pepper- cut up
1 roma tomato- cut up in chunks
1 whole jalapeno- seeded and cut
1 can tomato sauce-
1 bunch green onions- cut up
2 bay leaves
garlic- to taste
fresh sage- cut with scissors
fresh thyme- cut with scissors
salt, pepper
Tony's-or other seasoning
celery salt- to taste- I used about 2 tablespoons
olive oil
baby carrots- I used a bag full.
potatoes- any kind you love. cut up in 2 inch pieces.
1 cup water

Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

In a huge pan, (I used a massive frying pan that was about 5 inches deep.) drizzle enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Set stove to medium-high.
Add roast, and sprinkle salt, pepper and Tony's on meat.
Heat until there is a crust- like look all over the meat.

Add everything else, except garlic.
I cut a few holes in the meat, and stuff a few cloves of garlic inside.

Pop in oven for about 4 hours, and baste about every 30 minutes.

Super easy, huh?

I served this with a salad and french bread. It was great.
