Crock Pot Chipotle Beef

This is SO EASY, you'll be surprised how flavorful and versatile this recipe is.

1/4 cup olive oil

3 lbs. chuck roast

1 16 oz. jar Salsa Lisa Roasted Chipotle

salt and pepper to taste

Cut and trim the chuck roast into 2 to 3 inch cubes. Heat the oil in a large skillet on the stovetop over medium high heat. Brown the beef in the skillet in batches being careful not to overcrowd. Salt and pepper the beef as it cooks. Transfer the beef to the crock pot with a slotted spoon. Repeat this until all the beef is browned, add more oil to the skillet if needed to complete batches. Pour the chipotle salsa over the beef and cook in the crockpot according to instructions, usually 4 to 5 hours on high heat. The beef is done when the cubes pull apart easily.

To Serve: This wonderfully flavored beef is now ready to serve in a variety of ways. Try shredding it and serving it in tacos, burritos, enchiladas or sandwiches. This beef is also fabulous on its own ontop of rice with the sauce spooned over and a nice green salad on the side. While the beef is cooking you can also add potatoes, onions and carrots to create a full meal on its own (you will need to add 1/2 to 1 cup stock to the crockpot to cook the vegetables.) And, of course, the leftovers are even better!
