This was the BEST. Made it for a discriminating family, it turned out excellent. I pretty much went by the recipe for the most part but added some mexican spices for a little saltier taste. Will surely make again.

Great dish! I made it with pork and added a lot more seasoning (cumin and chili powder). Highly recommended!

Made this about a month ago and am making it again for dinner tonight. Few changes I made were I browned the beef, then the onions and peppers and put it in the crockpot. Added the rest of the ingredients, used one large can of tomatoes instead of fresh, added a small can of chopped green chilies and just let it sit and cook all day. It was fantastic. I did omit the water this time, b/c it wasn't necessary when I made it the last time. Also, the next day, I put the leftovers on the stove and addeda a can of black beans and it was a chunky meat chili. Served it both ways with cheese and sour cream. Big hit in my house and a great go to when I'm shuttling kids between baseball and dance this time of year!

While I have no idea what guisada is supposed to taste like, I thought this was really good. I used stewing beef instead of sirloin, a can of chopped tomatoes instead of fresh, green peppers instead of red and ordinary oregano instead of Mexican oregano. I also added half a teaspoon of chili flakes to give it just a little bit of heat. I browned everything off and put it in the slow cooker for 5 hours and it was great in tortillas. Will definitely make again and again.

Amazing recipe. This is identical to the Carne Guisada I ate in Mexico. I wouldn't change a thing with the recipe.

This is really good. I found that I had to cook mine quite a bit longer for the meat to get 'tender.' I used canned crushed tomatoes instead of fresh (I have a tomato texture-hater in the house)and I did add green pepper as the author suggested. I'll make this again, but will probably use a cheaper cut of meat, as I ended up stewing anyway. Thanks for the recipe!

Tastes just like home! I'm a Texan in London and was missing fine Mexican cuisine. This recipe was exactly what I was looking for. I did do a few things differently though. Believe it or not you can find Ro-Tel tomatoes in England at a few specialty stores. Instead of the vegetables I added two cans of Ro-tel. Skipped out on the cumin and added a generous helping of chili powder. Yum!

Excellent. Very easy and even better the 2nd day.

This was very tasty, both as a stew over rice the first serving, and as leftovers spooned into tortillas as a quick burrito. We we definitely add this to our regular lineup.

I've been looking for a recipe like this for a long time! The beef was tender and flavorful! It is flexible as well - for use in tacos, enchiladas and burritos! I didn't quite have all the ingredients on hand - like fresh tomatoes - so I used stewed tomatoes instead. I also thought the recipe needed more liquid so I added extra water to it and I covered it with a lid and let it simmer until all the other stuff I was making was ready. Thank you so much for sharing this terrific recipe! (P.S. it goes great with the Mexican Rice II recipe on this site)

Yum!!!! Just the right mix of spices. Had cubed beef and simmered for 2 hours as suggested. Will be used again and again.

Outside South Texas folks might not know what Guisada is...like me...but they should! This is a great way to slow cook top sirloin, which can be tough and bland. Great over spanish rice, in a burrito or tossed in a salad with salsa/ranch dressing and crushed tortilla chips on top! Don't be afraid of the name, try this, you won't be disappointed.

If you are looking for excellent flavor without heat, this is the recipe for you. I was delighted to find that, even tho I did not have all of the ingredients on hand, the recipe adapted beautifully to my substitutions. I used 1 can of diced tomatoes, and had no bell pepper. I browned 2 lbs of beef stew meat instead of the sirloin, and simmered slowly for about 2 1/2 hours. The result was heavenly, and palatable to even my 20 month old grandson. Thank you so much for this recipe!

My husband and I really liked this, and we've had our share of carne guisada. My only changes were to use beef stew meat and a green pepper instead of red. Oh, and I didn't have fresh garlic, so omitted. After simmering for about an hour, it wasn't as tender as we like it, so I put it in the slow cooker overnight on low, with about a 3/4 c. of water.

love mexican food but this didn't have much flavor to me will not try again...thanks

Delish! I followed the recipe exactly and it came out wonderful. We served it in soft shell taco shells and topped with cheese, lettuce and sour cream. My husband loved it! He had the leftovers for lunch the next day and called me from work and complimented me on how good it tasted ...again! The only thing I would change is to not add the water, had to drain it before we ate it in the soft shells. I will definately be making this again according to my husband.
