Bob Evans prepared mashed potatoes – side

1 lb roasted or steamable carrots – side

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add cubed beef and sear on all sides. Transfer beef to a 6 qt or larger slow cooker along with all remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours OR until beef shreds easily with a fork.
  2. Remove beef to a cutting board, shred, and add back to slow cooker and toss with the juices. Cook on low for 20 minutes for beef to absorb juices. Can serve in tacos or plain if desired!
