Crock Pot Shredded Beef

[clevermanka]

I handed over some food to adammaker this afternoon and thought I could post the recipes here since I haven't done that in a while. This one today, and the curry recipe on Monday.


~5 lb arm roast, trimmed of extra fat
1 onion, chopped
1 can Ro-Tel
1 can tomato sauce
1 T Worchestershire sauce
1 T paprika
1 T garlic powder
1 T of Old Bay (or did I use Tony Chachere's? eh, whatever)
a healthy dose of anything else that looked savory (sometimes I throw in some honey or brown sugar)

Place roast in crock pot. Sprinkle with chopped onions. Mix Ro-Tel, tomato sauce, and seasonings well. Pour over all. Put a lid on the pot and cook on low for eight hours. Carefully remove the lid, stir with a pasta-serving-spoon to shred. Turn to high and cook for another thirty minutes, stirring often, to cook down the liquid.

Serve over rice, pasta, or (one of my favorites) over lettuce as a hot salad.

Is that what Chris was eating the other night? It smelled divine.
Printing this--I think I have an arm roast left in my nearly-empty freezer.

Note to self: call neighbor about timing of next beef-ready-for-butcher.

Yes, this is what Chris was eating the other night. It's one of my favorites, and so incredibly easy. And of course, it doubles really easy, so if you get the family size package of arm roast from Checkers, you can just throw 'em both in the crock pot and freeze half.

I am trying to keep stuff like this and meatloafs on hand to keep him from resorting to nitrate-ridden lunchmeats. I don't always succeed, but I'm doing my best.

Me, too. This sounds awesome. I'm going to give it a try.

Cool! Let me know if you like it. I also forgot to mention, it makes a killer baked potato topping if you eat potatoes.

This one gets saved and used - I like crock pot meals that aren't fancy.

I am looking forward to the curry recipe as well.

Happy to provide a new crockpot option!

That sounds so good -- I wish I could be sure my crock pot wouldn't burn everything around the bottom edges, It sure did a number on the last thing I cooked.

And now I wonder how it would cook in an evil mix of tomato sauce, onion or rotel, chocolate, ground chili peppers and a blob of grape jelly. Sort of a pulled beef sloppy joe, where you sprinkle on the bacon bits as you assemble the sandwich.

It sounds like maybe you need a new appliance. They don't last forever. Maybe yours has a short that makes it too hot?

Oh that sounds FULL of nummy-ness...Thank you for sharing this!
