Machaca: Super Easy and So Tasty

When I thought that Will would still be in town, I decided to make as much stuff as I could in my slow cooker. He's out of town now, but I'm still cooking. Here is a fantastic recipe that takes a few minutes to prepare, but cooks all day without having to worry.

First, combine a beef roast, 8 oz of diced green chilies (I used jarred because they give better results), one sliced onion, garlic powder, seasoned salt, two teaspoons beef base, and pepper in a crock pot. Add just enough water to cover the roast (I used six cups); cover, and set your crock pot to cook for ten to twelve hours. When it's done, shred your beef with a pair of forks after draining it, reserving the liquid; the meat should just fall apart at a glance, so minimal effort will be required. Add salsa of your choice (I used 505 medium) and enough of the reserved liquid to achieve the desired consistency. Wrap in a warm burrito and you're done.

This was fantastic. I will definitely do this again, because we always have green chilies and salsa lying around, so all we would need is the beef. I've gotten requests from Will and our friend Erin to freeze it, so we will see if they share my opinion.
