Pot Roast for tacos

Last week there was a sale on beef roasts.  They were buy one get one free! I got 2 roasts for $15
I wanted to make a beef for tacos and burritos.  I think they turned out great!

And the best part, I will get 2 meals out of 1 roast!

I put a frozen roast in the crockpot. I cooked it for 8 hours on low, then turned it to warm for 2 hours.

Here you go:

3 pound Beef Chuck Roast, frozen
1/2 cup taco seasoning
2 cans Kroger diced salsa style fire roasted tomatoes with Jalapenos
1 can water

Sprinkle taco seasoning on both sides of the roast. Cover with tomatoes and water.
Cook on low for 8 hours.  It will be fall apart tender.
Remove from crock pot and pull apart with forks.

I served it on flour tortillas and crunchy corn tortillas.

I also used 1 cup of the beef stewing juices to add to my rice water. It was yummy too!

Why am I so busy???

In the last month I have not posted.  I have only worked 2 days a week if that.  Why am I so busy? I need to get my booty in gear and do something! 

I work tomorrow so I know that not much will get done!  Oh well, maybe Wendesday!

Dinner tonight is an old recipe.  I think I have posted it before:

Grilled Marinated Pork Tenderloin with a salad.

I may make sone tater tots for the kids if they want them. 

I do plan to not over cook the pork tonight like I did the last time I cooked it.

I will let you know how it turns out!
