tomatillo salsa beef mini sandwiches

Pot Roast gets slow-cooked with onion and chunky tomatillo salsa for fork-tender goodness. Make the dish handheld with soft rolls and a slice of cheese!

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless beef Chuck Shoulder Pot Roast (2-1/2 to 3 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 cup prepared thick-and-chunky tomatillo salsa
  • 12 to 16 mini sandwich rolls (2 to 3 inches long), split
  • 8 slices pepper Jack or cheddar cheese, cut in half

Directions

  1. Heat oil in stockpot over medium heat until hot. Place beef Chuck Shoulder Pot Roast in stockpot; brown evenly. Remove pot roast from stockpot. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon drippings.
  2. Add onion to stockpot; cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Return roast to stockpot. Stir in salsa; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover tightly and simmer 2 to 3 hours or until roast is fork-tender.
  3. Remove roast; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking liquid; keep warm. Carve roast into thin slices; stir into cooking liquid. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
