This spicy pot roast has some heat in it. You can bump up the heat or tone it down depending on your taste. This recipe is adapted from my 2005 Southern Living Annual Cookbook. The original recipe calls for a 2 1/2 to 3 pound eye of round roast, I selected a 2 1/2 lb sirloin steak. The recipe calls for a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, I used diced tomatoes with Habaneros. The original also called to drain the 15.5 ounce can of tomatoes, I did NOT drain. And, it called for cooking on high in a slow cooker for 5 to 6 hours, I prepared this dish on top of the stove in a cast iron dutch oven for about 2 hours. Hope you enjoy!

    NOTE: This is a very thick hearty dish. The heat in this dish is entirely up to you. I used a can of HOT Diced Tomatoes with Habaneros. This was pretty spicy! We served this over rice and had a slice of cornbread with it. YUMMY! Also, you could add cummin and garlic and come up with a really nice Chili.
