Crock Pot Shredded Beef

I handed over some food to [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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?
