Slow Cooker Southwestern Pot Roast is tender and delicious! Just possibly the best pot roast I’ve ever made.
Slow Cooker Southwestern Pot Roast was voted the best pot roast he's ever had by my husband. He's eaten a lot of pot roast!

After my husband took a couple bites of this he announced,  “This is the best pot roast I’ve ever had.  Don’t tell my mother!”   I loved it!

Southwestern Pot Roast

My husband is a real  meat and potatoes kind of guy from Idaho so he grew up eating a lot of roast so this man knows his pot roast.  I have to say I pretty much agree with him on his verdict.  It was the BEST!

Slow Cooker Southwestern Pot Roast

In addition to the meat, the recipe uses some basic canned goods I keep in my pantry – chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and chipotle peppers which made it so easy to put this delicious dinner together.   A well stocked pantry can make all the difference when it comes to being able to prepare nutritious and flavorful meals for your family. For more tips and ideas on keeping a well stocked pantry visit the Cans Get You Cooking website.

The other great thing about this recipe is that it uses the slow cooker!  I love a pot roast cooked in a slow cooker.

The slow cooker gets it so tender!!

    I made this exactly as posted today. There was a LOT of sauce! I was delivering the meal to another family, so I transferred to a deep casserole pan. After slicing the roast and and very generously ladling a lot of sauce over and around it, I still had so much sauce that I ended up leaving about 3+ cups of it in the crock. The roast was falling-apart tender, but the sauce was far too spicy for my taste. Maybe it was the brand of chipotle peppers that I used, but next time I will cut back to 1 teaspoon, and also cut one of the 3 onions into large slices instead of mincing all of them because, with so much sauce, the dish seemed to be lacking something (coarsely sliced onions and bell peppers cooked into the sauce, maybe). I served it with Food Network’s Roasted Potatoes & Tomatoes and a Cowboy Salad.

    I’m thinking about making this tonight, but I don’t have tapioca, can it be omitted? If not what is a god substitute?

      The tapioca is used as a thickening agent. You can leave it out, your sauce may just be a bit runnier but it will still taste the same.
