  1. I made this for a beachhouse camping trip and it was the most complimented dish of the weekend. If you're on the low budget use pork shoulder or butt instead of steak. I used that instead and it was still a winner. Instead of expensive salsa use much cheaper canned tomates then add fresh cilantro, jalapenos and onion which is what salsa pretty much is anyway. I also added 1 Tbsp of cumin and minced garlic but that's just me. Enjoy!
     
  2. We really enjoyed this recipe. I mixed the leftover meat and sauce with cooked rice, corn and wrapped it in a tortilla. Then topped the tortilla with more sauce and baked it. My husband loved it! Next time I'll make stuffed peppers with the leftovers. This is a winner!
     
  3. Believe it or not, after 10 hours of cooking the Mexican flavors were about gone. I ended up adding extra seasoning at the end. Next time I may use medium salsa instead of mild. Shredded the beef and used for 7 layer burritos (froze the rest for a tasty treat on a later date).
     
  4. This was soooo good. I used a rump roast which came out extremely tender. There was plenty of spicy gravy that I served over mashed potatoes. The family enjoyed it. I love roast cooked in a crock-pot and this was something a little different. Thanks Lorac.
     
  5. Excellent and easy to do. It made a ton of "salsa gravey" that will go well over pasta!! My guests just loved it and so did I. Thank you Lorac for another great recipe.
