slow cooker mexican beef

Recipe by

When I make this I plan on using it several different ways. Tonight we had it over yellow rice. Next I'll make beef enchiladas from the left overs. The recipe makes a lot of sauce so there will be plenty for the enchiladas. Another option is to use it for tacos or burritos. This freezes well and I love to have some on hand for a Mexican dinner with little fuss.
