What you need:
2 lbs of beer (either a roast or stew cubes will do)
1/4 cup Ketchup
1/2 small onion
1 TBSP Hot Sauce
1/2 cup beer
1 TBSP Cilantro
Dashes of Salt, Pepper, Paprika and Cayenne
Optional- Diced Red or Green Peppers
*-or-* if you want it SUPER EASY or don't have the onion or hot sauce just grab 1 cup of your favorite salsa and add 1/4 beer
How you do it:
In a crock pot mix ingredients together, then add beef
Cook on low for 7 - 8 hours or high for 4 - 5 hours until meat is falling apart and can be easily shredded
If you are using stew cuts- take a cube of meat and attempt to press it with the backside of a fork, it it falls apart it's done.
Remove meat from crock pot and shred (* use your fingers or a fork)
Then return shredded meat to the juice in the pot and turn to warm
Place beef over seasoned rice or on a tortilla & top with cheese if you wish.
Why it's good:
Crock Pot recipes if nothing else should be 2 things: easy and accessible. You can use a roast that you froze or some cut up stew beef and at the very least who doesn't have a jar of salsa in their cabinets. Some like it HOT, so add chilies, more hot sauce, or keep it savory for a fast family meal. The best part of course it that it's slow cooking in its own juices and you can set it at noon and have it nice and tender for dinner at 6. It's spicy and juicy, perfect on a tortilla with some sour cream. Who's making margarita's! Oh and this is great for entertaining, set it and get some other stuff done, and you can use a cheaper cut of beef so happy wallet, happy hostess! Mangia Tutto!
