CROCK POT MEXICAN ROAST & PINTO BEANS RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Crock Pot Mexican Roast & Pinto Beans Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 to 2 1/2 pound boneless beef chuck roast, excess fat removed
2 cups dry pinto beans, uncooked (rinsed and drained)
1 (10-ounce) can Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, undrained (I used Original)
1 small onion, chopped (about 2/3 cup)
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
Salt and black pepper, optional
Water, as needed

Steps:

  • Pour the rinsed and drained beans in the bottom of a 6-qt. crock pot. Set aside. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the undrained Rotel tomatoes, chopped onion, and all the seasonings (including the bouillon granules). Pour mixture over the beans and give it a little stir. Lay the roast on top and season the surface with a little garlic salt, salt, and black pepper. Add enough water to cover beans and about half of the roast. (May need additional water during cooking.) Place the cover on the crock pot and cook on HIGH setting for 4 - 5 hours, or until roast falls apart and the beans are tender, adding more water as needed. Taste and adjust seasonings to your taste. Serve with plain tortilla chips or cornbread. Can be garnished with sour cream, salsa, etc., if desired. I served with a side of corn.

Tips for Making the Best Slow-Cooker Mexican Pot Roast:

  • Choose a high-quality chuck roast for the most tender and flavorful results.
  • Sear the roast in a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to brown the meat and add flavor to the dish.
  • Use a variety of Mexican spices to flavor the roast, such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. You can also add a tablespoon of adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers for extra flavor.
  • Add a cup of beef broth or water to the slow cooker to help the roast cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook the roast on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours, until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the roast with your favorite Mexican sides, such as rice, beans, or cornbread. You can also top the roast with shredded cheese, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker Mexican pot roast is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The roast is cooked low and slow until it is fall-apart tender, and the Mexican spices give it a flavorful and authentic taste. Serve the roast with your favorite Mexican sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
