1

Prep CrockPot/InstaPot & Veggies: Start by adding the liquid to your pot.

2

Chop up and add to the pot any veggies you want cooked with your roast (Potatoes, Onions, Bell Peppers, etc) -Really any veggie would go good here if you want it to soften with the meat juices)

3

If you are using an InstaPot, turn it on to sear now. This will help heat the liquids faster and start pressure cooking sooner!

4

Prep Meat: On a clean surface, open your chuck roast and pat dry.

5

Season each side of your chuck roast with the Dan-o's Chipotle seasoning.

6

On a medium-high skillet, sear each side of the roast. It should be dark brown, nearly black - Watch your nose, the smoke as it sears will getch-ya!
Don't forget the sides of the roast!
Do this in batches if your roast came in multiple pieces.

7

Once all sides of the roast is seared, add it to the pot.

8

Add the pepperchinni's over the meat in the pot.

9

Add the chipotle peppers or sauce on top.
- If you are using whole chipotle peppers, feel free to use less if you don't want it as spicy. The chipotle salsa/sauce I use works great as it's not too spicy, and mixes well with the other liquids.

10

In a Pressure Cooker:
- Seal the pressure and cook on high pressure for 90 minutes.
I use the meat/beef option on mine. The one I have does not have a high-medium-low setting.

11

In a Crock Pot:
- Cover the pot and cook on high for 5-8 hours, or until the meat is
tender!

12

Shred Beef:
Once the beef is finished cooking, remove it and shred as you like. It should shred with a fork easily - or fall apart in your hands.

13

Sandwiches:
-For my sandwiches, I use thick (Texas) toast, sliced red onion, sharp cheddar cheese(more than you think you need), and horseradish sauce(recipe coming soon). Assemble the sandwich with the beef, and cook like a grilled cheese.
I put a light amount of the horseradish sauce on both pieces. Then butter the upper side of the bread/sandwich -> Place that piece down first on the griddle/skillet, then butter the other side of the sandwich.

-You can also use hoagie/sub buns. Sub mozzarella cheese or whatever cheese you like.
-Top with what you like, use the pepperchinni's. (Squeeze the stem and seeds out after they cook - it'll come right out)
-Use on sandwiches, tacos, or on top of pasta. Or, as a full meal cooked with peppers and potatoes.
