Chicana-In the Crock Pot

"My wonderful MIL lives in Callifornia and gave me this recipe. I have tweaked it a little to fit my taste. It is a family favorite of theirs, and now I can make it for mine! It is really easy to put together, but so delicious after it cooks for several hours."

directions

  • Cut the steak, bell peppers, onion and jalapeno into bite sized pieces or strips.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the vegetables to the heated pan and cook until crisp-tender.
  • Add the steak and garlic to the pan with the vegetables and cook until steak is browned.
  • Add both cans of tomatoes, the salsa, and salt and pepper to taste to the pan.
  • Pour the mixture into your crockpot and cook on low for 5-8 hours.
  • Serve with tortillas, rice and beans.
  • NOTE: I gave this such a long cooking time because it definitely does not bother it to be cooked for 8 hours in the crockpot. However, it is typically done and tender in 5 hours.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Kansas with my hubby and our two beautiful babies. The one thing I told my husband when we got together was he could not be a picky eater and he has to do the dishes!! :) I figured I should change this because it said I work at home and I recently got a job at a fabulous salon/spa. I am skin care specialist (Esthetician) there, and I love it. My hours are flexible so I still get to spend plenty of time with my kiddo's and of course on recipezaar every chance I get! I grew up with a mother that doesn't like to cook so I basically learned how to cook on my own when I was out of the house :) I didn't know I would like to do it so much! Oh, and "Red Chef Mama" is because I have all red in my kitchen (towels, plates, untensils, you name it) and of course I'm a mom! :) <img src="http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Hebe-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
