Brisket Sliders

INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs. beef roast {chuck roast}
1 onion, chopped (I only used half)
2 cans Rotel
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 tsp. cumin

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Place all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low for about 6-8 hours.
  2. Shred the beef and serve!



I usually serve it on buttered, toasted sliders, topped with BBQ sauce... so yummy! It's also good on flour (or corn!) tortillas with a little guacamole and shredded cheese.
