Description

Discover the flavorful and easy-to-make Crockpot Chipotle Pineapple Pot Roast Bowls, a perfect fusion of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. This tender beef roast slow-cooked with pineapple and chipotle peppers creates a hearty meal that’s ideal for cozy dinners and meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 23 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: cilantro, lime wedges, sliced jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the beef chuck roast generously with salt, pepper, and cumin. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides until browned—about 4-5 minutes per side. This step enhances the flavor of your dinner and locks in juices.
  2. Place the sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of your Crock-Pot. Lay the seared beef over the vegetables, then add pineapple chunks and chipotle peppers. Pour beef broth over everything to keep the meat moist during cooking.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shredded. The slow cooking process ensures the flavors meld beautifully, resulting in a tender, flavorful pot roast bowl.
  4. Remove the beef from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crockpot, stirring it into the luscious sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced jalapeños for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of chipotle peppers to control spice level; use fewer for milder flavor.
  • Searing the beef enhances flavor and helps lock in juices.
  • Use fresh pineapple or canned pineapple with no added sugars for best results.
  • This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a low-carb option.
