DELICIOUS!! I threw mine in the slow cooker after browning the beef on the stovetop. I also added a can of mexican-style stewed tomatoes, a can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes w/ green chiles and lime juice, about 1/4 of an onion, and some dry cilantro. Wonderful spicing and not hot at all. Even my 2-year-old wanted seconds! Definitely a keeper! Can't wait to try it on fry bread...

This is pretty darn good! I had jalepeno on hand so I used them instead of serrano. I added cubed potato during the last 20 minutes of cooking and the family ate it up! It came out more like a mexican stew. Very tasty.

We used a crock pot, and Jalapenos instead of serranos just because we've already had serranos twice this week, but other than that we followed the recipe exactly. But we found this pretty boring, and not very flavorful; the chili powder was pretty much the only thing we could taste. It's very attractive on the plate, especially with a small salad and fresh fruit, but there's just not much to it.

Pretty good - I think it would've been better had I not messed with it! I didn't have any serrano peppers so I put in a can of tomatoes with peppers in them as well as a couple of dried chile peppers for heat. I also put it in the crockpot for about 8 hours and the beef wsa very tender. We put this in corn tortillas and it was filling and tasty.

This was a very tasty recipe with a few minor changes. I used canned chile peppers instead of the serrano chile peppers the recipe called for. I also added about 2 tsp of flour to thicken up the gravy a bit. The last change I made was to cook it in the crock pot. The meat was very tender, and the sauce was flavorful.

I used this for filling of burritos with the Frijoles recipe from this site. Even the kids ate them.

Wonderful recipe! Easy to adjust for those that dont like it to hot, or those that like it hotter.Easy to set up in a crock pot to cook all day, or over night. We love it!

This recipe was wonderful...I had to make a few minor adjustments to "make it my own", such as reducing the amount of hot peppers and tomatoes, since my family does not care for so much heat. I used the left overs to make "tortas", which is a Mexican sandwich made with French Bread, or bolillos if available. Carne Guisada tastes better the second day, when the flavors have mellowed. Try the tortas, I really recommend them.

This was ok. Kids wouldn't touch it. Husband ate it but didn't comment.-He always says something when he really likes the food. It reminds me of a similar recipe called Charley's slowcooker Mexican style meat from this website.--Charley's meat is VERY VERY good. This recipe wasn't bad but I don't think I'll make it again.

Very good recipe! I had searched for something different to use some stew meat I had in the freezer. This was great. I will use the slow cooker next time. My kids (9 & 15) loved it too. We didn't have ANY leftovers!

This was really very good--maybe not quite as good as the time it took to prepare it indicated, but it's not as if I had to mess with it very much, just wait for it to cook a long time.
