How To Cook Tex-Mex Pot Roast
How To Cook Tex-Mex Pot Roast - What goes around, really does come around. Pot roast went around almost every weekend when I was growing up in the 1950s. It was inexpensive and easy to cook, and working moms like mine had time on the weekends to do the long cooking a good pot roast requires. Today the chuck roast I used for this Tex-Mex pot roast remains an economical cut of beef. Instead of spending hours tending a pot in the oven, I spend ten minutes prepping ingredients that go into my slow cooker, which makes it easy to have pot roast on a workday or weekend. Traditional flavorings for pot roast often include tomato and onions, with Italian herbs and spices; this version starts with tomato and onions, too, and then goes Southwest with cumin, chili powder, and canned green chile peppers. (Don't be afraid of the chile peppers. They mellow with the long cooking time.) Serve this with rice or noodles, or shred the meat and fill a taco or burrito. I promise this will become a family favorite that goes around for years to come.
