Slow-Cooker Southwestern Pot Roast

By carvalhohm2

This pot roast has the most deliciously southwestern flair to it with the addition of salsa! Don't skip out on the italian dressing mixture either...you won't be disappointed!

Ingredients

• 8 small red potatoes, cut in half
• 3 pounds beef boneless arm roast, trimmed of fat
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 pound baby-cut carrots
• 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa, thick and chunky varieties work best
• Italian dressing, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Place potatoes in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Coat beef with flour; place on potatoes. Arrange carrots around beef. Pour salsa over all.

Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.

Remove beef from cooker; place on cutting board. Pull beef into serving pieces, using 2 forks. To serve, spoon sauce over beef and vegetables.

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.
