Makes 8 servings
1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 3 pounds)
1 envelope burrito seasoning
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 large green pepper , coarsely chopped
1 large sweet red peppper , coarsely chopped
1 large onion , chopped
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup ketchup
8 hoagie buns , split
1 Cut roast in half . Combine burrito seasoning and cocoa ; rub over meat . Place peppers and onion in a 3 0r 4-quart slow cooker ; top with beat . Combine broth and ketchup ; pour over meat .
2 Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until meat is tender . Skim fat . When cool enough to handle , shred meat with 2 folks and return to slow cooker ; heat through . Using a slotted spoon , spoon 1/2 cup on each bun .
Everyone will love these sandwiches when you serve them . The cocoa ia a surprising ingredient that adds depth . It's hard to idenify , so I asked "What's the interesting taste ?"
TIP :
Unless the recipe instructs , don't lift the lid while slow cooker is cooking . Every time you lift the lid , steam escapes and the food will take longer to cook .
