Recipe Introduction


We brown the beef before slow-cooking to add color and enhance flavor. This mixture is also great over baked potatoes with your favorite toppings.





List of Ingredients



• 2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
  
• 1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste
  
• 2 cups beef broth
  
• 1 small white onion
  
• 1 (8-oz.) can tomato sauce
  
• 1/2 medium-size green bell pepper
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  
• Flour or corn tortillas, warmed
  
• Toppings: shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream
  






Instructions



1. Sprinkle beef evenly with salt.
   
2. Cook beef, in batches, in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes or until browned on all sides. Remove beef, reserving drippings in Dutch oven. Add 1 Tbsp. chili powder to Dutch oven; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste, and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add 2 cups beef broth, and stir, scraping bits from bottom of Dutch oven. Return beef to Dutch oven, and stir.
   
3. Place beef mixture in a 4 1/2-quart slow cooker. Add onion and next 4 ingredients. Cook on HIGH 4 hours or on LOW 6 hours or until beef is tender. Serve with warm tortillas and desired toppings.
