EXPERT TIPS

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.

This was great! I added a can of cream of celery soup and a big can of mushrooms. My bf said he didn't know if he liked the roast or the vegetables more.

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.
