- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 to 3 lb boneless beef chuck roast

- Spray 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, mix onions, chiles, garlic, taco seasoning mix, cumin, coriander and salt. Stir in broth.
