Don’t you just love a crock pot? There’s not much better than walking in the house at the end of the day and smelling dinner, cooked and waiting.
I’ve been on the lookout for crock pot recipes and found this one in my file from an old friend. It’s delicious, and I had forgotten all about it! This one is great in the winter and summer. I have pictures of the “getting ready” phase, but it is currently cooking, so the “ready to eat” pictures might not be posted. It all depends on how hungry I am later!
Mexican Beef
- 2 lb. London broil
- 1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
- cooking spray
- 1 c. chopped onion
- 1 T. white vinegar
- 1 small can chopped green chiles
Trim any fat from meat and rub both sides with taco seasoning mix. Put into sprayed crock pot (or use a liner–which I bought and then forgot to use). Add onion, vinegar, and chiles. Cover and cook on LOW for 9 hours. Remove meat from crock pot, keeping liquid in the pot. Shred beef with forks (it pretty much falls apart) and return to pot. Mix with liquid.
Serve on burritos or make nachos. We add black beans, jack/cheddar shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, guac–it’s all good!
And just to make you snicker, the liners that lay unused in my drawer:
I’m sure I’ll be laughing later, as I soak and scrub my crock pot.
