Spicy Pot Roast with Black Beans and Bock Beer

"This is not your typical pot roast. It's a spicy (can be adjusted to your liking) and hearty dish. My husband loves it, but he doesn't know it's pretty low in fat and calories. It's very easy, but takes some time - start it about 3 - 4 hours before serving. We often keep it warm in the crockpot and serve it at tailgate parties with hot tortillas."

  1. 5 stars all the way! I used a smaller roast, but left all other ingredients the same. After searing the meat, I threw everything in the crockpot. It cooked on high 5-6 hours. I thickened the broth with a small amount of cornstarch. The flavor here is delicious! Spicy, but not hot. And the beer under note is divine. This is a keeper and jumped straight into my Best of 2017 cookbook. =)
     
  2. This is a nice and spicy way to prepare roast. Loved the addition of the rotel and black beans. I used a nice 3-4# chuck roast so we'll have plenty of leftovers to keep sampling this week. I actually cooked the roast in my oblong 9 x 13 crockpot for about 10 hours. Great results.
     
  3. This turned out very tender and tasty. I had to leave the lid off to let some of the liquid cook off so I could use the mixture on a tortilla. Otherwise it would have been perfect over rice. i did not find it to be spicy or hot, so I added some cayenne pepper and chopped up a jalapeno to serve. Delicious! Thanks for sharing. Made for a Smok'in Chef for CQ 2017.
     
  4. My family loved this. It's easy and tastes great. It was absolutely delicious- an authentic black beans and pork dish. Great with fresh tortillas or with rice. I'll definitely be making it again and again.
     
  5. Fantastic! Other than my roast being a bit larger than called for, I followed the recipe exactly, right down to the Shiner Bock. :) I used the original Rotel tomatoes, but next time may try the extra hot version. We really enjoyed this, Nan ---thanks for sharing the recipe!
