Equipment
5-6 quart slow cooker
Ingredients
2-3
pound
chuck roast
1.5
ounce
packet taco seasoning
16
ounce
jar salsa
1
cup
water
8
ounce
jar taco sauce
Instructions
Place roast on a large piece of plastic wrap. Sprinkle entire packet of taco seasoning over chuck roast.
Rub it in to ensure good coating. Make sure all sides get coated.
Wrap up roast with plastic wrap. Then wrap in aluminum foil.
Put it in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 2 hours but overnight is best).
The next morning, place the marinated roast into a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
Pour jar of salsa over the roast. Then pour in 1 cup of water. No need to stir.
Cover and cook on low for about 8-9 hours.
Take meat out and shred with a fork. It should be very tender and easy to shred. Discard any fatty pieces.
Dump out the remaining liquid that is in the slow cooker (reserve about 1/2 cup)
Then put the shredded meat back into the slow cooker. Pour in jar of taco sauce and give it a good stir.
Then cover and cook on high for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.

Notes
You'll need to try to plan this out ahead of time since the meat needs time to marinate. Serve in taco shells with your favorite toppings!
