Shredded Mexican Beef


Serves: 7
Total Calories: 19

Ingredients

2 green peppers, sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into several large pieces
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes with onion and garlic
1 (8-ounce) can hot or plain tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons vinegar
3 bay leaves

Directions:

Arrange green pepper and onion slices in a slow cooker. Top with beef; sprinkle with garlic and seasonings. Pour undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce, water and vinegar over beef; add bay leaves. Push beef down until mostly covered by tomato mixture. Cover and cook on low setting for 6 to 8 hours, until beef can be shredded easily. Shred beef using 2 forks; discard bay leaves. Keep warm in slow cooker until ready to serve.

Tip: If you love super-spicy chili, give New Mexico chili powder a try. Sold at Hispanic and specialty food stores, it contains pure ground red chili peppers, unlike regular chili powder, which is a blend of chili peppers, garlic and other seasonings.
