Beef Machaca

i made this for our food group this month, and I LOVED it! My only suggestion is to Omit adding the salsa. I liked it better without it. It has a rich, garlic taste, When you add the salsa, it has a “stew” flavor (in my opinion). You add the salsa at the very end, so i would taste it before and see if you like it, then take a small portion, add the salsa and compare.
Also, i would do a 2 lb roast. pick one with good marbling. We have 7 in our family, and i doubled the recipe for us! THis was so delicious.

Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
1 large onion, sliced
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon seasoned adobo seasoning (note that this Latino seasoning is made with salt, cumin and garlic and is not the Phillipine versio) or salt
6-8 peppercorns
1 cup salsa
Directions
Place beef in crockpot.
Cover roast with remaining ingredients except salsa. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until roast is tender and can be pulled with a fork.
Remove the beef from the crockpot and set the cooking liquid aside.
Using two forks, shred beef.
Optional: Mix beef with salsa, and if you like it a little moister, add some of the cooking liquid to the meat. I returned the beef to the liquid as I do not like my beef to dry out. Plus, the liquid off the beef was just YUMMY!7
Adjust the seasoning and add salt and pepper if necessary.
Use as a filling for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, chimis, etc.

Cheeseburger Buns

Cheeseburger Buns

4 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
3/4 cup warm milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 to 4 cups flour
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (only 1 pound if it is 90% or more lean)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
8 slices American cheese, quartered

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, sugar, shortening, egg, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 -6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
In a skillet, cook beef and onions until meat is no longer pink. Drain. Stir in tomato sauce. Remove from heat and set aside. Punch dough down; divide into 16 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out each piece into a 5-in. circle. Top each circle with 2 pieces of cheese and about 3 T of beef mixture. Bring dough over filling to center; pinch edges to seal.
Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place, until double. About 20 minutes. Bake at 400 F for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Makes 16 buns.
****For freezing, place in the freezer after filling the circles. Thaw on the counter, covered with saran wrap, for 4-5 hours. Bake on 375 for 10 – 12 minutes****

1 onion, chunked
1/2 red bell pepper, chunked
1/2 green bell pepper, chunked
1 small can pineapple chunks

Cook chicken and cut into 1 inch cubes. Saute carrots in garlic and oil. (If you are using boneless skinless chicken breasts, you can cut them into cubes and cook them with the carrots.) In another sauce pan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water. Add oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. Cook and stir until thick and clear. Remove from heat. Add chicken, carrots, vegetables, and pineapple. Cook just long enough for vegetables to start to be tender. ****If you are freezing this recipe, do not cook with the vegetables in it. Stir everything together, let it cool and then freeze.*****
