Crock Pot Love...... mmmmmm - Chuck Roast Recipe

In my efforts to become more efficient and have more time to knit, I have enlisted the use of my crock pot. When I first hauled it out, I had no idea what to cook, how long to cook, how much liquid to add, what temperature to cook, essentially I had no idea of what to do with it, I only knew that I needed to use it to be more time efficient.

My first foray was pot roast, I had never much liked pot roast, but thought my husband and mom would enjoy it, so I tried it. With much success, even I liked the results. I made several of these and then I tried chicken stew, as I don’t much like beef stew but do like stewed poultry. Again, much success, so I tried my version of Mexican chicken. That one blew the socks off of everyone! So last night after several meals of poached salmon (it was on sale), I decided to make my Mexican Chicken except with beef…. So here goes.

1 2 to 3lb chuck roast
1 Jar Southwest Salsa (you pick the heat) I used mild
1 Lg. can diced tomatoes, all the liquid
1 can black beans, all the liquid
1 cup frozen corn
1 Pk. Burrito seasoning

Dump all the ingredients into the crock pot and put on high for 6 hours.

Serve with steamed flour tortillas, and taco fixings; shredded lettuce, sour cream, shredded cheese, onions, cilantro, diced avocado and tomatoes.

Came out really yummy and probably will make about 8 meals

The cost per meal came out to around $2.75 per.

Thanks for shareing. You might try to google slow cooking. There
are ton of ideas out there. Good Luck and let us have more on
your ideas.
Joan and I have been howling at your story. We're still not sure how the salmon fits in, other than it was on sale!

Is the beef served shredded?

Thanks for sharing! :D :D :D
Not to be a buzz kill, but............

Really, we had salmon for two dinners and two lunches.... time for a different protien, woo hoo, here comes the beef! and the dinner before the salmon was sushi... time for a change....


glad I could give you a chuckle or two... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Is there really such thing as burrito seasoning? What's in it? Salt and pepper, garlic powder, dried onion, red chile pepper, oregano, cumin......?? Just curious.

Recipe sounds yummy. This weekend for sure....or early next.

Yep, Lawry's makes one, and I think there are a few packets in the Mexican food section that make one (there's also a fajita seasoning packet and a taco seasoning packet)...Maybe McCormick's makes one too.



So...with all this free time thanks to the crock pot, what have you knit?
oh now that sounds GOOD!


Has anyone tried any desserts in the crockpot? I hear you can make a really good pudding type cake thing....
Check out my photos and I have a post on finishing a UFO....
