Shredded Mexican Beef - Crock Pot*
April 24, 2016
Prep Time : 25 minutes
Cook Time : aprox 8-10 hours depending on what your plans are.
Yield : About 12 servings
Ingredients:
1 (4 pound) beef bottom round roast or other lean roast
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 large onion, diced
1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or to taste
1 cube beef bouillon
Directions:
Trim the roast of any excess fat, and cut into four pieces.
Rub with black pepper, and place into a slow cooker.
Add the onions, green chiles, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, cumin, chipotle peppers, and beef bouillon.
Pour in enough water to cover 1/3 of the roast.
Cover, and cook on High until the meat begins to fall apart, about 8 hours. Add water if needed to keep the roast from drying out.
Turn the slow cooker to Low, and remove meat to a large bowl with a slotted spoon.
Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
Return the meat to the slow cooker; cook about 20 minutes to reheat before serving.

My notes:
I have a 3 crock pot set up and I make this with 1/2 the servings for gatherings with the Pork Carnitas and the Slow Cooker Shredded Taco Chicken recipes for a taco and burrito night.
This recipe has a bit of a kick to it but it is so worth it.
Leftovers are great for quesadillas, enchiladas, etc. The leftovers can also be frozen and reheated for another time.
