yummy yummy yummy, put it all in the crock put, added a scotch bonnet to give some heat (just 3 slices of one) and let it cook overnight. Also added some jerk seasoning to one half after it was cooked, that was delicious as well

Wonderful dish! And even better the next day! The only sub I made was a red pepper instead of the green (all I had in the fridge).We had it in tortillas. It was a little too much sauce (it was rather messy!), but would be perfect over rice. Will have this again. Thnx for posting, Lavender Lynn. Made for ZWT5 for RRR

Perfect balance of flavors and cooking in the crock pot is a major plus for me. As mentioned before it isn't super spicy but a great start of a recipe that you could make variations of. Made for ZWT 5.

This is the absolute BEST recipe for a spicy shredded beef. I put it in flour tortillas, wrapped tightly, brushed with melted butter, and baked so they'd crisp on the outside. With cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream on top it was perfect! Will keep this recipe for sure!

Great crockpot recipe! We found this to be great as is, wrapped in a tortilla, or even served over rice! Thank you for posting a very simple, easy dish that everyone from my 18 month old all the way up to the adults could enjoy! I didn't find this dish spicy at all which is great because I can't stand spicy hot things. Made for ZWT5.

We really enjoyed this! I let it simmer in the crock pot all day on low and came home to delicious burritos! I used a ball tip steak which was on sale and had fabulous results with it.
