How to Make Southwestern Pot Roast

  1. Place 1.5 lbs small red potatoes, halved or quartered if large, into a 3 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker.
  2. Generously coat a 2-3 lb beef chuck roast with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
  3. Place the floured beef roast on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker.
  4. Arrange 1 lb of carrots, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces, around the beef.
  5. Pour one 24-ounce jar of your favorite chunky salsa evenly over the beef and vegetables.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
  7. Carefully remove the beef roast from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board.
  8. Using two forks, shred the beef into bite-sized pieces.
  9. To serve, spoon the delicious salsa-infused cooking liquid over the shredded beef and vegetables.
