Yum! Mine had an inexplicable sweet taste to it. I am not sure if it was super-sweet peppers (I had baby bells) or if someone mixed powdered sugar in to the flour. But once I figure that part out, it'll be perfect! A little extra cornstarch in the broth when it's done helps it hold together in a tortilla.

This is a very tasty recipe. My husband and I really enjoyed it. Make a casserole out of the leftovers using layer of rice, carne guisada, black beans repeated and put pepper jack cheese on top. Very Good!

This was the most bland food I've ever made! I made it exactly as the recipe called with no additions. After it was done, I had to add a million different things just to get it to have a taste. My husband likes Mexican/Latino food and this was just not a hit. I don't know what this dish is supposed to taste like but this recipe was not for me!

This was pretty good. I used masa instead of all purpose flour. I also added more chili powder. It still needed more of a kick. It was not spicy at all, but definitely had flavor. My kids loved it. Next time, I won't dice the potatoes. I'll leave them a little bigger. I kind of lost them in the soup a bit. Make sure that your meat is lean/trimmed because it will reduce the amount of greasiness. But you also need to remember that Mexican soups are generally greasy.

Absolutely delish! As my sister put it "it's just the right beef stew and just the right chili". I added a beef bullion cube and a pinch of white sugar to my crock pot just for kicks, flavor was perfect!

This is a terrific dish when you are feeding a crowd. I make these along with some shredded chicken when I am hosting a 'taco bar' party. I take the time to remove as much fat as possible.

Nice flavor, nice broth. Seemed to be missing a little something, but I couldn't figure out what would make it perfect. Added an extra cup of beef broth for a little more juice, so needed to adjust flour to 1/3 cup. Was a bit runny, so might add a little more next time.

Excellent recipe. Only used half of the chili powder - too hot for us!

Very flavorful. A nice easy to make dinner to throw in the crockpot. I made cornbread to go with it. My husband and son loved it.

It was okay. Nothing that special. Was a bit disappointed. Don't cook the potatoes the whole time. Put in later. Not as much flavor as I thought.

Great recipe with my modifications; used sweet potatoes instead of white, used 1 Tablespoon Cumin, and only 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder to favor my stomach. It was slightly bland, so will use 3 T. CP next time. BUT...the flavor was wonderful!! I spent a lot of time trimming the chuck roast so had little fat to remove. The prep is time consuming, so also will do prep one day, and cook the next. Served with corn bread this time. Next time...rice. Thanks for the recipe. YUM!

This was excellent. I changed the recipe only by using cornmeal and bean flour as thickeners. This was great over rice with warm tortillas.

Good flavor. Easy to through into the crock pot and forget about it all day, that aspect gave it the 4th star.

I'm rating this in the middle cause I changed the cut of meat. I used chunked stew meat because that's what my mom always cooked with and it's already cut. It smelled heavenly all day but when I finally opened it at the end of the day it was full of some kind of red grease (which I almost see in the picture submitted. It definately was nothing I could pour over rice or anything like that. I drained the meat completely and we still ate it. The flavor was real good. Needed just a bit of salt. I'll try a different recipe next time.

I made this overnight to take to work.I love how easy it is to make!! It was pretty good although i had only a lb. of beef cubes and had to adjust accordingly. I also didn't have enough beef broth and used wine also.The meat was tender and delicious and i threw in some corn that i had leftover. Very colorful dish. I look forward to making this again with the exact ingredients it calls for.Thanks
