Naturally when I am reviewing a new recipes I am drawn to the Mexican inspired recipes. When the recipe includes a beef roast and a crock pot, I am sold. Gonna try the recipe. This crock pot chipotle shredded beef did not disappoint anyone in the family.
Crock Pot Chipotle Shredded Beef
The recipe called for a chuck roast, but here is the deal, use whatever beef roast you have on hand or is on sale at the grocery store. It will all work the same. Place the beautiful beef roast in the crock pot.
The original recipe called for cans of diced tomatoes, green chiles and chipotle sauce. I, however, had enchilada sauce instead of chipotle. It also called for chili powder and cumin. I had Penzey's Chili 9000 which has cumin and other yummy seasonings and herbs. So, I used two tablespoons of it instead. Topped the roast with sliced onions and the canned goods before letting it slow cook all day. I omitted the beef broth the recipe called for originally.
After it has slow cooked all day, you should be able to peel any excess fat off the roast and then shred with two forks. Don't trim the fat before cooking. Remember fat is the flavor conductor. You want it to cook the meat all day to add flavor.
The meat should be fairly juicy. Which made me relieved that I didn't add the two cups of beef broth. You will get quite a bit of beef. This is a great recipe to eat twice.
The cooked meat will freeze nicely to pull out later or go ahead and make some beef enchiladas and use the meat for tacos or on top of Mexican Risotto.
The recipe is from 303 Simple & Satisfying Recipes which is the combination of three cookbooks from Gooseberry Patch. I will be giving this cookbook away the second week of September 2014. Be sure to check back to register to win and see what other great recipes I made.

I’m grateful for my husband being home last week and next week. These are rare ocensreuccr, so I have to enjoy them while I can. I’m least grateful for the fact that job is mindless and boring. I don’t know how much longer I am going to be able to last there if I continue to do nothing but pour over 5,000 line item spreadsheets all day long.

Magic Johnson stated that he does not believe in Jim Buss, and made his feelings known about Jim choosing D’antoni over Phil.It’s unfortunate that Jim’s personal feud with Phil, and possiby Jeannie, got in the way of doing what is best for the team.I really hope Dantoi has evolved as a coach, because if he is the same coach from NY, he won’t make it here in LA.

This is the best recipe that I have made in a long time. Great for burritos, or served with refried beans and spanish rice.
