Slow Cooker Southwestern Pot Roast Recipe 45

Steps:

• Place potatoes in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Coat beef with flour; place on potatoes. Arrange carrots around beef. Pour salsa over all.
• Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
• Remove beef from cooker; place on cutting board. Pull beef into serving pieces, using 2 forks. To serve, spoon sauce over beef and vegetables.

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread the onion slices out into the bottom of the cooker.
• Spread the flour out onto a work surface. Sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and black pepper, and roll the roast in the flour to coat all sides. Using the edge of a small, sturdy plate, pound the flour into the meat. Place the floured roast into the cooker on top of the onions. Whisk together beef gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, and Italian dressing mix in a bowl, and whisk the mixes with water until smooth. Pour over the chuck roast. Distribute carrots around the meat.
• Cover the cooker, set to Low, and cook until the roast is tender and the gravy has thickened, about 8 hours.

Steps:

• Mix chili powder, onion flakes, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and garlic together in a small bowl.
• Rub seasonings on roast on all sides.
• Places roast in crock pot.
• Sprinkle remaining seasoning on top of roast.
• Place uncooked beans around the roast.
• Pour chiles, tomatoes, soup and water over roast.
• (Do not add any more water; beans will cook in roast's own juices.)
• Cook on low for 8 to 9 hours until roast shreds easily.
• Finish shredding roast and stir to blend roast and beans.
• Serve in a bowl along with cornbread or in warm tortillas garnished with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, guacamole and sliced jalapeños.

Steps:

• Put the pork roast into the slow cooker.
• Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the pork.
• Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours or until the pork is tender.

Steps:

• On the stove top, place a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Once pan is warmed up, add olive oil and allow it to heat up.
• Sprinkle all sides of pot roast with salt and pepper.
• Add beef roast to oil in hot pan and sear on one side for 4 minutes. Flip roast over and sear other side for 4 minutes.
• Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and place roast inside slow cooker.
• Pour in the pepperoncini juice and sprinkle both the dry ranch dressing mix and dry brown gravy mix on top of the roast. Add the peppers (put on top of and around the roast) and butter on top of the roast.
• Place the lid on top of the slow cooker and set timer for 8-10 hours on low heat (it will vary based on your slow cooker - mine is done in 8 hours, but some will take longer) or 4-5 hours on high heat (I highly recommend cooking this roast on low - I have never had it turn out as well when I have cooked it on high. Also, you want your house to smell good alllllll day long).
• Remove roast from slow cooker and slice into pieces (it should pretty much fall apart by this point).
• Serve with mashed potatoes and the cooked carrots on the side.

Steps:

• 1. Brown the roast to sear the meat.
• 2. Add all ingredients except the peppers and mushrooms.
• 3. Simmer in the slow cooker on low for 4 hours.
• 4. Put the mushrooms and peppers in the cooker and cook on low for another hour or until vegetables are tender.
• 5. Prior to slicing the roast, let it rest on a cutting board tented in foil for 15-20 mins. Place desired number of slices on a small platter with the vegetable mixture and gravy. Serve with rice.
• 6. Note: If you desire a thicker gravy, thicken when the meat and vegetables are removed.
