What Is Cooking Today, Sunday, May 1, 2016?

I am asking simply because I have a crockpot dish going and the smell is so tantalizing that all of us have mouths that are truly watering. I just tasted it (cook's prerogative), and it is very hot; think next time I will reduce black pepper to 1/2 tsp. Also, the amount of time is not enough for the pinto beans to get done. I will report back tomorrow on what we thought of the taste. Here is the recipe.

Mexican Pot Roast


1 3-4 lb. Pork Shoulder Roast (or Beef)

2 cups dried pinto beans, washed and strained from dirt

4-6 cups water

1 10-oz can Rotel tomatoes

1 onion, chopped

2 teaspoons cumin

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon black pepper

4 large whole jalapenos

In a large crockpot, add roast, pinto beans, water, Rotel tomatoes,
onion, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and jalapenos.

Cover with lid and turn crockpot on low 6-8 hours or on high and cook for 3-4
hours. Remove shoulder blade bone.

Serve over rice or cornbread. Or shred meat and serve in a tortilla with
any of the following:

chopped tomatoes
chopped lettuce
chopped onions
chopped jalapenos
chopped olives
saute onions
sauté bell peppers
sour cream
salsa

Cook's Note: Add additional water, if the beans absorb too
much of the liquid. The meat can be frozen and reheated for other meals.
