HOW TO MAKE CHILE COLORADO IN THE SLOW COOKER

This recipe is what we call a “dump and go” recipe – just dump the ingredients in and let the slow cooker do the work! It’s simple.

• Put beef, enchilada sauce, bouillon cubes, onion, green chiles, chipotle pepper sauce, cumin, oregano, and salt and pepper into slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until meat is very tender
• When beef is done, turn oven to broil.
• On an oven-proof plate or baking pan, lay out a tortilla. Place 1/2 cup of the meat on a tortilla and a spoonful or two of beans. Roll into a burrito.
• Pour some of the remaining enchilada sauce from the slow cooker over the burrito to cover it and top with cheese.
• Broil until cheese is bubbly, about 2-4 minutes.

• 1 (19 ounce) can enchilada sauce

3. When beef is done (it will be very tender and flake off when stirred), turn oven on broil.
