ingredients

3 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck pot roast
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 can (14.5 ounce size) stewed tomatoes
1 can (7 ounce size) chopped green chiles
2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeno peppers (optional)
1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
2 cups shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese
16 onion or Kaiser rolls, split and toasted
lettuce leaves

directions

Trim fat from meat. In a small bowl combine cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub mixture generously into both sides of meat. If necessary, cut roast to fit into a 4- or 4-1/2-quart slow cooker. Place meat in cooker. Add onion, undrained tomatoes, chili peppers, and, if desired, jalapeno peppers.

Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours. Remove meat from slow cooker, reserving juices. Using two forks, shred the meat. Return meat to cooker; heat through. Stir in cilantro.

To serve, sprinkle cheese over bottoms of onion rolls. Using a slotted spoon, place about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture on top of cheese on each bun. Add a lettuce leaf to each. Replace roll tops.

    This recipe was a huge hit with a large group and a smaller group. I am wondering if it might taste good with chicken

  2. gghali REVIEW:

    Made this recipe for some friends (one of whom was a cook) and it was a HUGE hit. Will definitely make them again.
