May is Beef Month. May is also a super busy month for busy moms and dads with all of the end of the school year activities. While I do not have a child who is graduating, our longest term babysitter AND our hired hand are both graduating from high school. I am trying to make it to as many of their activities as possible, while they are not blood they are like family to us.
Here is possibly the simplest recipe I have ever posted. When we were growing up, my mom starting making this especially during harvest. It works great in busy times like this.
Spicy Shredded Beef
1 beef roast1 jar salsa
Put beef roast in crock pot and cover with salsa on LOW heat.
When roast is fork tender, shred the beef using 2 forks. We use this for homemade burritos,
tacos,
enchiladas
and super nachos.

I even put my roast in the crock pot frozen. I often "load" my crock pot before 8 am and may not get to eat whatever is in it until after 8 pm, so frozen roasts have plenty of time to thaw and cook. Hope this gives you a great way to cook a roast other than pot roast.
What cut of beef would you like to know how to cook differently from what you already do? Let me know and I will see what we can find for you!

I always use a frozen roast, too. I'll have to give the salsa idea a try. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI always throw my roasts in frozen also. We are sick of regular pot roasts with potatoes, carrots and gravy, and I think this out be a nice change of pace. Thank you for sharing!

Isn't it funny how we get stuck in a rut with preparing the sane cuts of meat the same way. Glad I could help you gals out with a different ending for the same old roast. :)
