Been making this over and over since it first appeared in 1995! Best review is my husband's co workers requested the recipe after merely smelling the leftovers that he took for lunch reheating.

I used a can of hot Rotel instead of the diced tomatoes and I also added some diced onions and tomato paste. It was really good and spicy :o)

I've made this dozens of times since it was published, it's delicious! This time I converted it to a slow cooker recipe by using 1 can of stewed tomatoes in the bottom of the cooker, cutting the roast in half and adding it to the pot, then combining a second can of stewed tomatoes (instead of the diced tomatoes) together with the chilies, taco seasoning, beef bouillon, and sugar, and poured that over the top. No need to brown the meat. 6 hours on high was perfect. I scooped out the stewed tomatoes and served them on the side. MAKE THE GRAVY - it's wonderful!

I made the roast for dinner one night and we ate the leftovers as burritos the next day. My kids voted both of them as "make again" meals. Yum!

I love this recipe! It can be served with mashed potatoes or as a filling for tacos. I use two cans of Rotel instead of the tomatoes and chilies called for in the recipe. I also cook it in my slow-cooker for 8 hours. This is my boyfriend's favorite pot roast.
