WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa
(218 calories | *5 WW Freestyle SmartPoints)
I have award winning chef Rick Bayless and his Frontera Beef Barbacoa Slow-Cooking Sauce to thank for the yummy shredded Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa I made over the weekend.
Talk about easy and delicious.
Easy Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa
The red chile barbacoa I made with Frontera Beef Barbacoa Slow-Cooking sauce was full of flavor and so simple to make.
I just tossed a 2-pound frozen hunk of beef into the slow cooker along with a sliced onion and the packet of sauce and let it cook on LOW for about 8 hours.
And was rewarded with the most delicious beef barbacoa that we enjoyed in tacos for lunch Saturday and again for dinner last night.
Everyone agreed that it was very good. Flavorful, but not too spicy.
Truthfully, I had pretty low expectations given that I failed to follow the directions on the pouch of Frontera Beef Barbacoa Slow-Cooking Sauce, which called for adding a sliced red onion and browning the beef before slow cooking.
I used a white onion, since it was what I had. Skipped browning, since my chunk of beef was frozen. And hoped for the best.
