Categories     Dinner

Total Time 207 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 192 minutes

Yield 11

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 lbs 93% lean ground beef
1 cup minced onion
1 cup diced red bell peppers
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup minced cilantro
1 small tomato (diced)
8 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup alcaparrado (manzanilla olives, pimientos, capers or green olives)
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 bay leaves
kosher salt and fresh pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Brown meat in a large deep skillet on medium-high heat; season with generously with salt and a little pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat up into small pieces.
  • When meat is no longer pink, drain all the liquid from pan. Add the onions, garlic and bell peppers to the meat and cook an addition 3-4 minutes.
  • Transfer the meat to the slow cooker, then add tomato, cilantro, tomato sauce, 1 1/4 cups water, alcaparrado (or olives) [I usually add some of the brine from the jar for added flavor] then add the spices.
  • Set slow cooker to HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8.
  • After it's ready, taste for salt and add more as needed [I added a little more cumin and garlic powder at the end as well since the crock pot tends to mute the flavors of herbs and spices].
  • Discard the bay leaves and serve over brown rice.
  • Makes about 5 3/4 cups.
