Shredded Salsa Beef

Submitted by DesertRose15

"My favorite recipe for burrito meat. From the cookbook "Don't Panic-Dinner's in the Freezer". If you have a large crockpot, you can double or triple the recipe and freeze the meat for later. The recipe calls for vegetable oil, but I never add it. It's very easy to make, no browning required."

 

• Ready In: 6hrs 10mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck or 2 lbs round roast
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
• 1 cup chunky salsa
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 garlic clove
• 1⁄2 cup water

directions

1. Place beef in Crockpot. Add remaining ingredients and enough water to barely cover roast. Cover. Cook on low 6-8 hours until beef is tender. Remove and shred, using 2 forks to pull apart. Return meat to Crockpot and stir to combine meat and liquid.
2. Serve as a filling for tacos, burritos, chalupas. Serve with cheese, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, etc.

I Love Love Love this recipe! Instead of the water I used beef stock and then added on about 10 slices of jalapenos. Delish! I also do this as OAMC....I put all ingrdients into a large freezer bag and seal it. Then thaw and dump in the crockpot. I skip the browning step and it turns out great!

This recipe was awesome! I love the tangy sweetness in it from the brown sugar. I made it last night and ate like three tacos. :) Thanks for the great recipe.
