Delicious! I added a can of rotel and used jalepenos because I didn't have serranos. I also added some paprika to kick it up a notch.

I live in Texas and most of us know a good carne guisada when they see one. This is it! Wow- so delicious. I dredged my meat in seasoned flour, then browned in oil with chopped onions. I added the rest of the ingredients in the crock pot and cooked all day. Absolutely divine. Slice some fresh avocados and chopped tomatoes for a fresh accompaniment on your tacos. I also made it with corn/poblano white rice and with the richness of the gravy you really need a bland or mild rice to go along with it. If I could give this ten stars I would :).

not bad, but not great either. While I liked it ok, my husband did not at all. I was looking for a bit darker color, but it turned out bright red.. basically like condensed tomato paste.. most probably won't make it again

Being from south Texas I have been looking for this! Cooked meat in crockpot, took the meat out of the crockpot, then made the gravy with juices in crockpot, and returned the meat. Drained a lot of the fat off. Made lots of subs, but still tasted great! Used cilantro bullion, pace picante sauce instead of tomato, added about 2 teasp cumin, chili powder, and 1teasp of onion powder. Simmered gravy in crockpot on high for about 1 hour while meat rested. Then shredded meat and returned to gravy. Will definately make again. Thank you for making this easy.

I didn't have any tomato paste so I used a cup of spaghetti sauce and it was still yummy!

I have had this twice now and it has become a staple in my house!! I didn't bother browning the meat first, I just tossed it into the crock pot with all the other ingredients and let it cook on medium for 8hrs... it was fall apart tender... PERFECTION! I also threw in some sliced green bell pepper and yellow onion in the last hour of cooking. I served it over mashed potatoes and let me tell you.... it is AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe! My family loves it and they are TOUGH critics!

This is an excellent and delicious recipe! I omit the cornstarch and brown the meat, add flour to thicken. I usually use what I have on hand. Today I'm trying it with fresh tomatos and jalapenos instead of serrano peppers.

This was just ok for us. I made exactly as the recipe stated with the addition of some onion. Both my husband and I thought it tasted like it lacked something in the flavor. Not exactly sure what it needs, but, I may experiment with some different seasonings.
