Expert Tips

Wrap up leftover pot roast in a tortilla for a quick on-the-go lunch.

Customize your roast by using your favorite salsa, from pleasantly mild to as fiery hot as you dare.

Meat in the slow cooker will become more tender the longer it cooks. At the minimum cook time, the meat can easily be sliced. At the maximum time, the meat will more easily be pulled or shredded into serving-size pieces.

Add a little salsa to your favorite Italian dressing to top a salad with a southwestern accent.

I always flour both sides of a roast and then sear it in a heavy pot, and a little oil over med/high heat to brown. Could even use the salsa to deglaze the pot after removing the roast. Then put the salsa with all the little bits of beefy goodness that were stuck to the bottom of the pot over the roast in the crockpot.

The roast & veggies were cooked perfectly in this recipe but the salsa gave it a really odd flavor! Even my husband said he didn't like it too much. I was sad to have used a perfectly good roast on this recipe. :-( Will not make this again!!

This was my first attempt at using my slow cooker. I cooked it for ten hours and the meat tasted like butter. It fed my family of three and we had about half of it left over. For about $16 and ten minutes of work, it created six meals. Buy a package of egg noodles and pour the leftover meat on top to create a "Yankee Southwestern Pot Roast".
