Just made this again last week for Cinco. You don't have to pre-brown the roast first, it's just the way I like it.

One of my most requested recipes! ;D

Shredded Beef

These are sooooo good! I got the recipe on the net years ago, tweaked it a bit & they taste just like a restaurant! My family loves this recipe. Great for tacos, burritos or tostadas.

2 1/2 to 3 1/2 lb roast
6 oz. coke (only coke & NOT diet)
6 oz. Mexican beer - drink the rest
1/2 T. chili powder
1/2 to 1 t. cumin
1/2 to 1 t. oregano
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 11oz jar Hot garden vegetables (Vlasic only)

Puree the jar of veggies, including liquid in blender, make sure to remove all stems from peppers. I usually add some jalapenos & a few T. of juice from the jar.

Take some flour, salt & pepper, roll the roast & brown in frying pan on all sides (I use olive oil).

Put all ingredients in crockpot except 1/2 of the pureed veggies. Crockpot on low all day. Shred the meat with two forks, add the rest of the pureed veggies & keep on low for another hour or two.

My friend in CA gave me her cheese dip recipe and let me tell you, you cannot STOP eating it! Oink out! LOL

Juanie’s Cheese Dip

1 block Velveeta, cubed
1 jar diced pimentos, undrained
1 can evaporated milk (not the whole can)
Fresh jalapenos, stems removed, chopped in mini chopper - seeds and all! I use 5 to 6 large jalapenos for the heat, use less if you don't want it too hot.

Heat in crockpot on low for an hour or so, stirring every now and again.

Freakin' YUM ;D

Sure!

I think Belinda has a shredded beef recipe too? Maybe it's not as involved.

here is the only way i will make mine lol


Shredded Beef
3- to 3 1/4-pound boneless beef chuck shoulder or bottom round roast, cut into 4 large chunks

1 medium onion, quartered

3 whole cloves garlic, peeled

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 T. Adobo Chilies

3/4 cup water

In slow cooker, place onion, chilies and garlic; top with beef chunks. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper; add water. Cover and cook on low 9 to 9 1/2 hours or until beef is tender. (No stirring is necessary.)

Remove beef from cooking liquid; cool slightly. Meanwhile, strain cooking liquid; skim off fat. Set aside. Trim and discard excess fat from cooked beef. Shred beef with 2 forks.

Yield: 7 1/2 cups shredded beef

Chefkel, did you get the Coleman camp crockpot that runs on propane? I got it for my birthday!
Haven't used it yet, but we plan to make bbq pulled pork sandwiches this summer while at camp.
Another shredded beef suggestion is to use Bean's chicken enchilada recipe and use a roast instead of chicken. That's what I did at camp last week and it turned out GREAT!
