Chipotle Crock Pot Beef

Description: This recipe is so simple I am almost embarrassed to post it but it was so tasty that I felt I wanted to share it with you. I used boneless strips of Maui ribs but you may use any thin sliced beef. I love hot (spicy) food so I caution you that if you use the whole tin of chipotles it will scream 5 alarm fire. If you don't use the whole tin freeze the remaining. Start off with two chipotles if you like medium hot.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef, cut in strips 6 "x 2-inch x 1/2-inch
• 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo
• 1 (14 ounce) Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)

Steps:

1. Place half the peppers and tomatoes on the bottom of your crock pot; add meat.
2. Top with remaining peppers & tomatoes.
3. Turn to low for 6 hours.
4. If you with to thicken the sauce, mix cornstarch with a bit of water and add to crock pot. Stir; turn to high for the last 15 minutes.
5. Serve over your favorite pasta.
