Oh,yum, this sounds like something my girls would like. I do a similar dish with just BBQ sauce to serve on buns, but this would be nice for a change.

Thanks.

opkikid - well, I just came home with a 3 lb. boneless chuck roast, and there is a bit of fat to trim from it. I was going to make a pot roast tomorrow in the crockpot while I worked in the garden, but this sounds a lot better! I'm getting tired of "something" on noodles/mashed potatoes.

So I'll give your recipe a try. I'll probably double the ingredients. I don't have any cilantro, but I see that's optional.

Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks so much for that one. I sure wish chuck roasts weren't so hard to come by here. That sounds good even on a bun. I'm saving this for sure.

That really sounds good and I know my bunch would like it.
Thanks for the recipe.

Years ago I had a similar recipe that called for pork, but I always used beef.We put the shredded meat in soft tortillas.That recipe has been lost so I'm glad to get this one.Thanks,Gabriell

Thanks opkikid, I have a frozen roast that needs ealing with. Do you think your recipe would freeze well?

Just printed this off-summer isn't too far off. This could be the start of lots of good meals and bet this is really better than what I use now for taco salad.
Thanks a lot.

Copied here too! I just made a chuck/pot roast the other day and thought to myself that I'd like to do something different with it the next time. Thanks.
Cindy

Copied by me too! Sounds really good.

I hope you like it -- I actually made it for my folks while they were visiting this weekend. We are having leftovers in a taco salad for lunch today. It does freeze beautifully and it's nice to have on hand for a quick dinner. Enjoy!

Yum, taco salad. I didn't even think of that....

Annie

I juar preinted that one off...looks like a keeper! Thank you!

The ingredients are now in the crockpot. I can't wait to see what it's like!

I hope you like it as much as we do!

Thanks for the recipe. I made this the other night and used the meat for burritos, topped with sour cream, chopped onions, hot peppers (at least on mine), chopped tomatoes, lettuce etc.....we really enjoyed them.

I had a 3 pound roast to deal with so I did a double batch and bagged it for the freezer. DS was home yesterday and scooped the whole batch! He'll love it, it's right up his alley.

Thanks again it was a great way to use up the beef.

This stuff is so good it even got me a marriage proposal yesterday! Well, actually when I served it at a work function my colleague asked me if something ever happened to his wife if I would promise to marry him! :-)
I like it on a bun like a sloppy joe. It is in my secret aresenal of quick and easy stuff that everyone loves and thinks you are a genius to be able to make, but actually are quick and simple. Ah the joys of the crockpot!
Thanks again Opkikid!

LOL, Lpink! I'm presently reading about a real live murder story of a woman just like you mention, her hubs found somebody better!

There was just a post about a taco party. Wish I had thought of this recipe cause I have it saved, just haven't made it yet.

Blame it on the shredded beef! :-)

Yeah, I thought about posting it on that thread, but there were so many other great recipes. Being a crockpot lover though, this is my taco meat of choice, when I do make tacos, which is just for other people since I'm more or less a vegetarian, (less when I make this.) I cut it with ground chuck as a cost cutter.

I made this a week or so ago and used the leftover for taco salad. Both the regular tacos and the salad were excellent and being such an easy recipe to make, will be doing some more as soon as I have room in the freezer.
Thanks for a great recipe.

sounds like this is becoming a forum favorite and it's great to have a new recipe for the crockpot! copying and pasting, with thanx!

Wow -- I'm so proud that my taco recipe has made such an impact -- and a marriage proposal! Maybe that's why I'm at 13 years of marriage and still counting! Thanks for all the nice comments. It makes Monday morning at work so pleasant.

Angie

Thanks for bumping this one!

Somehow I missed it first time around, but I am definitely going to put it on the list for this weekend.

Alexa

Thanks -- definitely going to print and make this one!

Just cut and pasted for friends...great recipe.

Nancy

Thanks -- this is going to be a hit with my family!

I tried it, and it made way to much liquid. Do you drain some off opkikid?

I do. I should have put that in the recipe. Sorry!

Angie

Just wondering if you could use ground chuck hamburger meat with this recipe instead of a chuck roast?

It sounds really delicious, but isn't there a lot of grease from the meat? Could you cook the meat first and then drain off all the grease before adding the other ingredients?

I mix hamburger with the chuck roast. I get the lean stuff, and there is very little fat. I brown the meat first to seal in the flavor.

I use a really lean roast and cut off the fat before I make it. The beauty of this recipe is that you don't have to use the stove! I usually pour off a lot of the cooking liquid before I serve the beef. Rather than cook the meat before hand (which you could easily do), you could cook everything in the crockpot and refridgerate it over night and then skim off the solidified fat. Often do this just out of convenience.

Good luck!
