How to make Southwestern Shredded Beef Sandwiches

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3
- 3 1/2 pound boneless beef chuck pot roast 1
tablespoon ground cumin 1
tablespoon chili powder 1/4
teaspoon salt 1/8
teaspoon black pepper 1
cup coarsely chopped onion 1
14 1/2 ounce can stewed tomatoes, undrained 1
7 ounce can chopped green chile peppers or two 4-ounce cans chopped green chile peppers 2
tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeno chile peppers* (optional) 1/4
cup snipped fresh cilantro 2
cups shredded reduced-fat cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (8 ounces) 16
onion or Kaiser rolls, split and toasted Lettuce leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim fat from roast. In a small bowl combine cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle evenly over roast; rub in with your fingers. If necessary, cut roast to fit into a 4- or 4-1/2-quart slow cooker. Place roast in slow cooker. Add onion, undrained tomatoes, green chile peppers, and, if desired, jalapeno chile peppers.
  • Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours. Transfer roast to a cutting board, reserving juices in slow cooker. Using 2 forks, gently separate the meat into thin shreds. Return meat to slow cooker; heat through. Stir in cilantro.
  • To serve, sprinkle cheese over bottoms of onion or kaiser rolls. Using a slotted spoon, place about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture on top of cheese on each bun. If desired, add a lettuce leaf to each. Replace roll tops. Makes 16 servings.
