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:

  • To ensure the pot roast is tender, choose a chuck roast or rump roast. These cuts have good marbling, which will help keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Browning the pot roast before braising it adds depth of flavor. Be sure to brown the meat in a hot skillet until it is well-browned on all sides.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pot roast. This will add flavor and nutrition to the dish. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, celery, and onions.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. A variety of herbs and spices can be used to create a delicious pot roast. Some good options include garlic, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
  • To thicken the sauce in your pot roast, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and stir it into the pot roast. Bring the sauce to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for a few minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Conclusion:

    Mexican pot roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. With its tender meat, flavorful sauce, and colorful vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give Mexican pot roast a try.
