Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Beef chuck | 3-4 lbs |
| Boneless bottom round roast | 2 lbs |
| Salt | 1/4 tsp |
| Black pepper | 1/4 tsp |
| Paprika | 1 tsp |
| Garlic clove | 2 cloves |

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Meat: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and minced garlic cloves. Rub this seasoning mixture generously onto the surface of the beef chuck and boneless bottom round roast. For maximum flavor, cover the meat and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator, ideally overnight.
-
Sear the Meat: When you’re ready to cook, heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated meat to the skillet and sear it on all sides until nicely browned. This step helps to lock in the juices and enhance the flavor of the roast.
-
Prepare the Crock Pot: Transfer the seared meat to the crock pot or slow cooker. Add the beef broth to the pot, surrounding the meat. Peel and slice the onion, then add it to the crock pot as well. The onion will infuse the meat with even more flavor as it cooks.
-
Slow Cook: Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. The low and slow cooking method ensures that the roast becomes incredibly tender and flavorful.
-
Add the Chili Sauce: About an hour before the cooking time is complete, stir in the bottled chili sauce. This final addition adds a delicious kick of flavor to the roast, infusing it with a subtle heat and tanginess.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the roast is fully cooked and tender, remove it from the crock pot and transfer it to a serving platter. Slice or shred the meat, depending on your preference. Serve the Texas Crock Pot Roast alongside your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread. Enjoy the savory goodness of this comforting dish!
Whether you’re serving it for a weeknight dinner or preparing it for a special occasion, this Texas Crock Pot Roast is sure to impress with its rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Give it a try and savor the taste of homemade comfort food at its finest!
