This is best served in a crusty roll topped with red onion, sliced tomatoes and sour cream! The spicy salsa can be substituted with 1 7-ounce can chipotle sauce if desired. The chipotle sauce and jalapeno chilies can be found in your Mexican section of any major grocery store. Adjust all amounts to taste, I have made this in the past, it is *very* good! Ingredients:
1 (2 1/2 lb) boneless beef chuck roast (can use a 3-pound roast) |
1 (14 ounce) can chopped diced tomatoes, with juice |
1 cup spicy salsa |
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno chiles, drained |
1 large onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic |
3 tablespoons chili powder |
1 tablespoon honey |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin |
2 cups beef broth |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. Place beef roast in a 5-quart crock pot.
2. Add in diced tomatoes with juice, spicy salsa (or chipotle sauce if using) jalapeno chilies, onion, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt and cumin.
3. Pour in the beef broth; mix with a wooden spoon to combine and season with black pepper.
4. Cover and cook on LOW until beef is tender when pierced with a fork (about 8-10 hours, cooking time will vary slightly depending on the size of your roast).
5. If desired remove the lid and turn to HIGH for the last 30 minutes to allow the sauce to reduce and thicken.
6. Season sauce with more salt if desired.
7. Transfer the roast to a cutting board or large platter.
8. Shred the meat using two heavy forks.
9. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker; cover and allow to warm.
10. Serve in crusty buns.
