Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup dry Sherry

  • Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables in this recipe add flavor and nutrition. Feel free to add or substitute your favorite vegetables.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is an important part of the flavor of this dish, so use a good quality broth or stock.
  • Cook the roast until it is fall-apart tender: The roast is done when it is fall-apart tender. This will take about 3 hours on low in a slow cooker or 8-10 hours on low in a Dutch oven.
  • Serve the roast with your favorite sides: This roast can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This Mexican-style pot roast is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The beef is fall-apart tender and the sauce is flavorful and tangy.
