Simple Ropa Vieja in the Crockpot
"I got this recipe from a co-worker. Although there are other ropa vieja recipes on Recipezaar, i didn't see any that called for a crockpot. Sofrito can be found the frozen 'ethnic foods' sections, in a little tub. Sazon can be found in the dry 'ethnic foods' section, and it comes in a box full of little packets. Please note that Recipezaar will not accept "one envelope of sazon" as a measurement, so I had to call it "1oz", instead."

I took up cooking when I gave up smoking, and my family is grateful. They were tired of eating the same 11 things that I knew how to make!
In addition to turning on the recipe feed for Recipezaar, I highly recommend www.supercook.com. This wonderful website will ask you what's in your pantry, then tell you what you can make without having to go to the store.
