CROCK POT CARNE GUISADA (MEXICAN BEEF STEW)

Crock Pot Carne Guisada (Mexican Beef Stew) image

This was one of my mother-in-law's recipes and I just loved it. Of course she didn't even own a crock pot so everything was done "old school". I adapted her recipe to a crock pot version and it turns out similar to hers. Of course nobody can cook like or mothers and mother-in-laws but my husband let this pass. ;)

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, flavorful beef, ripe tomatoes, and aromatic spices.
Brown the beef in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking. This will help develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is fall-apart tender. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve the carne guisada with warm tortillas, rice, or beans. You can also top it with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
