Instructions
- 1Heat olive oil in a large skillet (or in your slow cooker if it has a browning mode) over medium-high heat. Generously season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. Once the oil is glistening, add chuck roast to the skillet and brown on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
- 2Place the beef in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer the beef to a colander set over a bowl to drain off the fat.
- 3Add the browned chuck roast and ground beef, onion, bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, garlic, tomato sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes, green chiles, beef stock, bay leaves, garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin to the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours on or on LOW for 8 hours.
- 4Stir, breaking up any large pieces of ground beef, and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
- 5Serve family-style with slivered jalapeños, avocados, cilantro, and green onions. Enjoy!
