This is a great recipe and really reminded me of home. This is a great crock pot recipe I simmered mine for 8-12 hrs in the crock pot and it was superb.. I have to say it makes me home sick. I had to use crushed red peppers instead of Serrano because of the poor selection of peppers here. But it was good over rice and my husband and I loved it.

So good. I made it more like a stew and added potatoes, red peppers and some garlic. Love the kick it has but it's not too much and the meat alone would be awesome in a sandwich or tortilla - definitely will make again. I only did 6.5 hours and the meat was wonderfully tender.

This was waaay too easy, but good. Could have added another 1 or 2 serrano peppers.

We liked this a lot. I made this in the slow cooker and we had it over mashed potatoes. It definitely had a stew-like consistency and had some heat to it from the peppers (but not too much heat!). Next time I may add some vegetables to it, like carrots.

I was surprised how much we liked this. I'm not a big beef eater so I don't try too many new things with it but I'm so glad I tried this. I didn't simmer it nearly as long as stated but it was still tender and thickened up nicely.

Easy to make, just need to keep an eye on it and top it off with water from time to time. I used only 3 tbsp of tomato paste. Didn't need to add the cornstarch and I shredded the beef. Made a great filling for soft tacos. Will be making this again and will probably double the recipe the next time.

Loved it! I served it over rice, but the boys thought next time mashed potatoes would be better.

YUM! great basic recipe that is easily modifiable. i made it using the slow cooker. i also dredged in flour and browned before adding to the slow cooker. i also threw in a bunch of veggies (potatoes, bell pepper, onion, carrots) and used both canned tomatoes and tomato paste. instead of beef broth i decreased the water (in lieu of the canned tomatoes being high in water content) and added a beef boullion cube. i also used one serrano and one jalapeno for added flavor dimension. no cornstarch needed -- the flour and potatoes thickened the sauce beautifully.
