Happy Wednesday, slow cookerers!!

I hope your summer has been going well. I really love having the kids home but I've got to admit, my schedule hasn't really been "normal."

I need to get back on track with getting up on time, actually exercising, getting dressed, eating, etc etc.

hopefully you're doing a little bit better than I am!

;-)

that said, the newest Slow Living podcast episode is on Morning Routines ---- if you take a listen and have a morning routine to share that works for you, I'd love to hear it!

I've gotten a few emails about pot roast. I usually use whatever cut of meat happens to be on sale. In our part of the country it's usually a beef chuck roast or tri-tip.

I hope these recipes spark your creativity!

Tex Mex Pot Roast

serves 8 or so

2 to 4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast

1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

1 (15-ounce) can chili beans or Ranch-style beans, undrained (found in the Bean Aisle of your grocery store)

1 (11-ounce) can corn with peppers, undrained

1 (10-ounce) can Rotel (tomatoes and chiles), undrained

The Directions.

Use a 6-quart slow cooker.

This is a super simple dump and go recipe--my favorite kind! The meat was frozen solid when I put it into the cooker.

The rule of thumb is that if your main ingredient is frozen, the other items should be room temperature or warmed slightly.

This is according to the slow cooker manufacturer's instructions, and has to do with Food Safety. :-)

After your meat is in, add the chipotle chile powder and all the canned ingredients.

Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 6.

I like to cook it long enough that the meat falls apart--but you may take it out whenever it reaches your preferred desired tenderness.

The Verdict.

I served this with a baked potato (which you can totally do in the crock, if you are so inclined), to 5 adults and three children.

The dishes were clean when I loaded them into the dishwasher...

woo hoo, success!

Have a wonderful day!!
