EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The moist heat of a slow cooker transforms inexpensive, less-tender cuts of meat into fork-tender dinner. Be sure to choose beef round, tip or chuck steak, or substitute beef stew meat, for this flavorful dish. You can quickly thaw frozen vegetables by microwaving on High for 1 to 2 minutes or placing them in a colander and running cool water over them. Or move frozen vegetables from the freezer to the refrigerator in the morning before you leave, and they’ll be thawed when you get home for dinner.

Really loved this! We used fresh peppers and onions instead of frozen ones.

Thought this was a tasty meal and I used stew meat as suggested it was tender and juicy. I would add some chili power the next time as it seemed a little bland.

My husband and I thought this recipe was OK, not great, not bad. The only changes I made was I used fresh onion & bell pepper as opposed to frozen & used my slow cooker on high for 3-4 hr's instead of low for 7-8 hours. I had no problem at all with the tenderness of the meat without browning (as previously mentioned by another reviewer), the meat was very tender & fell apart easily (I used London Broil). The only problem is that it could have definitely used more broth (I used 1 can of broth instead of the carton broth -- in response to one of the previous reviewers, carton broth is usually recommended because it is supposed to taste better but canned tends to be more economical & no waste if you don't use the rest of the carton). I would also probably add more seasoning if I make this again. I might try it again & just make some enhancements.
