Sponsored post by Mirum Shopper. All opinions are my own. Shredded beef is one of the most versatile essentials in Mexican cuisine. We use shredded beef to make tacos, enchiladas, on tostadas, on salads, and so much more. Shredded beef starts off as slow cooker Mexican pot roast. The leftovers are what are shredded and used in other dishes later. It's like a two-for-one deal: you get pot roast one night and a “shredded beef” dish the next day! This Mexican style slow cooker pot roast is a an amazingly flavorful and easy meal for busy families.
Like American pot roasts and slow cooker meals, this Mexican slow cooker pot roast has the basics like a beef roast and onions. But it also has peppers and amazing flavor from Knorr Caldo de Res Bouillon (Beef flavor Bouillon)!

How big is the roast you use? How many pounds?
1-3 pounds. Just make sure it looks like it will fit in your slow cooker.
8 cups of water/stock? Its in my crockpot now and it still,seems that there’s too much liquid
★★★
Yes that is how much we used in the recipe, you will have liquid left over after the roast is cooked. hope this comes out good for you.
