I actually shared this recipe back in January of 2012 (and I've made them probably 100 times since) but I wanted to update the photos and also the method a little.

Back then I just added the beef into the slow cooker without browning it first, which yes you can do, but those 6 minutes of browning are a game changer I tell you.

It makes such a difference that it's the only way I'll make these shredded beef tacos anymore.

Once in a while I'll still use chuck roast though if that's what's on sale. Read More »
