This is one of those stupid easy recipes that I love for busy weeknights. Everyone has five minutes to spare to throw this meal together, and it tastes like you've slaved away for hours. You just can't get any better than that, y'all.
For an easy dinner, serve the beef roast with slow cooker mashed potatoes or Spanish rice.
Crockpot Southwest Beef Roast
Ingredients:
- Beef shoulder roast (2-3 lbs)
- Jar of salsa (I use a good organic, chunky medium salsa for this)

Method:
Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add roast and brown quickly on all sides. Transfer roast to crockpot and add all other ingredients. Cook on low for 8 hours.
Shred meat and serve over corn or flour tortillas with your favorite garnishes.
