BBQ Beef

So, I LOVE slow cooker recipes. I take this to a ton of different events, so I thought I should put it on here. It is a favorite.

1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 3 lb)
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbs brown sugar
2 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tbs Dijon mustard
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 clove crushed garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp liquid smoke
1/8 tsp black pepper

Pour sauce over beef and cook on low heat in a crock pot for 8-9 hours. I usually double the sauce only because I like to have mine a little juicier. I usually make the sauce the night before and then all I have to do is dump everything in the pot. Don't use the bigger crock pots though. I have found they don't cook the same way and the meat is never as tender, so use the normal size. Enjoy!

Crock Pot Chicken Enchiladas

I made this the other day on a whim. Not sure how it was going to turn out, but I have to admit is was pretty good. And if you have a fondness of the slow cooker like me, you will really like it, because it is really easy.

6 chicken breasts (can be frozen)
1 can corn drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can Rotel
1/2 jar salsa
1 package taco seasoning
8 oz low-fat cream cheese
Garnishes: cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes

Place chicken in crock pot. Mix corn, black beans, Rotel, salsa, and taco seasoning together. Pour over chicken. Cook on low 7-8 hours. Mix in cream cheese until melted. Shred chicken and replace in slow cooker. Serve on tortillas with garnishes.

Note: I do have to say this has kind of a weird texture and not easy to eat with your hands, so make sure you have a fork ready. But the taste is pretty good.
