Beef Tacos Recipe


Shredded beef tacos are some of the best; I prefer this method of cooking overusing ground beef in a frying pan. This is the type of taco meat you would find in your more high-quality tacos and burritos. This recipe uses a frozen rump roast, but don’t worry about using a frozen one, it will turn out fine. If you would prefer to use a fresh one, that will work as well but the cooking time will probably be less. What’s really great about this recipe is that the slower cooker pretty much does all the work. I will only include how to make the actual meat in the recipe because everything else is pretty basic. Used whichever type of taco shells you prefer, and optional condiments such as shredded cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Enjoy.

I made this last week and it turned out Yummy! I did add a bit of cumin at my husbands request and he loved it. Will make this again for company perhaps. Thank you for sharing!

Hey, nice recipe and super site. As I scrolled down the page everything I saw I wanted to make-the German Chocolate cake looks fabulous-my mother used to make it when I was a kid and I haven't had it in ages. I think I'll give that a go in the near future. Thanks for sharing!

These look amazing! I love that it's a crock pot recipe too! I'm having a little trouble locating the Mexican tomato sauce...is there a particular brand or alternative? Thank you!
