Jalapeño Pot Roast CrockPot Recipe

Here's another one from the blog "A Year Of CrockPotting" - I thought that this one looked really good, but I'm not likely to make it. The kids wouldn't eat it. Katie doesn't like the flavor of jalepenos and Kyle doesn't like things that are spicy!!

I thought that I'd pass it along to you, anyway!

As always, I would really love to hear from anybody that tries one of the recipes from my blog!
Thanks,

Day 259.
This is a set it and forget it recipe. I came up with this recipe while I was holding a package of frozen chuck meat and was looking through the fridge and pantry. I've never made this before, but I will again. It was easy and quite flavorful.

6 adults ate this last night for Sunday dinner---while the 2 kids ate buttered pasta.

The Ingredients
--3 lb chuck roast (frozen solid is fine)
--can of cream of soup (or homemade, or you can make it on the stove)
--2-4 T of sliced jalapeno peppers (a can or two of green chilies would work. We had the jalapenos on hand)
--can of black beans, drained and rinsed
--1 yellow onion, sliced in rings
--1-2 cups plain non fat yogurt (to add at the end of cooking--you can use sour cream, too)

The Directions
Dump everything into the crockpot. I used frozen homemade cream of mushroom soup---it took about 40 minutes for it to melt all the way and coat the meat.

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

After cooking, remove meat with tongs, and stir in the yogurt or sour cream.
It's up to you how spicy you'd like this meal to be. I used 4 T (1/4 cup) of the sliced jalapenos, and then used 2 cups of plain yogurt to mellow the flavor. I liked it like that, and so did my family. There was definitely a kick, but it wasn't too crazy. If you're worried about the heat, stick with 2 T of the sliced jalapenos, and then slowly add the yogurt at the end to taste.

The Verdict
I really liked this, and so did Adam, my parents, my brother, and his wife. I rinsed the meat off and offered it to the kids, but they didn't give it a try.When the cold yogurt (or sour cream) hits the hot liquid, it will separate a bit and create white chunks. Don't be alarmed---they will dissipate after heating fully and with some quick stirring.
