Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 6-8 hours

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients:

1 (4 lb.) chuck roast

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground black pepper

2 T. olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 can diced tomatoes with green chili

1 C. diced green Chili peppers, canned or fresh

1 tsp. chili powder

1 (5 oz.) bottled hot pepper sauce (use the one you enjoy the most)

1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

What to do:

Trim the roast of any excess fat, and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place meat in hot skillet and brown meat quickly on all sides.

Transfer the roast to a slow cooker, and sprinkle onion over meat. Season with Chili peppers, chili powder, diced tomatoes with green chili, hot pepper sauce, and garlic powder.

Cover, and cook on High for 6 hours, checking to make sure there is always at least a small amount of liquid in the bottom. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking for 2 to 4 hours or until meat is totally tender and falls apart.
