Slow Cooker Shredded Beef
Looking for another entree that you can stick in the crock pot or slow cooker, and forget about? I love coming home in the evening, to the smell of something tasty, that has been brewing and marinating all day. This Slow Cooker Shredded Beef recipe comes from my SIL, and is perfect for a variety of combinations. Get the meat cooking and have the family assemble their own burritos or tacos, for a quick and easy meal. I’m thinking the meat would be delicious in some cheesy enchiladas too! This shredded beef is very flavorful – I’d love to hear your ideas of what you would use the meat for!
I think this would serve well with a side of California Caviar and some chips!
