Ingredients
2 pounds beef chuck roast
1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 ounce)
1 cup salsa
Directions
Step 1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
Place the beef chuck roast in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Step 2. Add the Seasoning and Salsa
Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the beef, then pour the salsa over the top.
Step 3. Cook the Beef
Cover and cook on LOW for about 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the slow cooker. Stir the shredded meat into the juices to coat it fully in the flavorful sauce.
