You could also "assemble" a crockpot/slow cooker dish in a cool kitchen, then plug the appliance in on your porch or in your garage, if your kitchen gets hot that easily.
Slow cookers have been known to SAVE FREEPER MARRIAGES and KEEP FREEPER CHILDREN FROM STARVING during more active FReeper episodes (Lewinsky, post-2000 Election, 9-11, Shock and Awe, etc.).
CROCKPOT FAJITAS:
Into a crockpot/slow cooker, stack in this order:
1 beef rump or shoulder roast
1 cup dried pinto beans, washed
1 small can chopped green chiles
1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 onion, chopped
1 can Rotel chopped tomatoes and green chiles
1 can water
Stack in order above. DO NOT MIX. Cover and cook on low for 9 to 10 hours (the longer the better). DO NOT OPEN LID. DO NOT STIR. Do not even look at it until it's done. When done, remove all but the liquid from the crockpot and put into a large casserole dish. Drain off excess liquid. With large forks, shred the roast and mix up the whole thing.
Serve with flour tortiallas and eat like fajitas. Garnish with cheese, sour cream, etc.
Makes A LOT of food.
Excellent. Thanks for spelling out each step; I need lots of help.
I plug my crock pot in out on the deck if I use it in the summer.
Thanks for the recipe-I usually just throw my fajitas on the grill, and serve them with slices of onion, tomato, avocado, pico de gallo and avocado-with a small stack of tortillas and just let everyone roll their own, so to speak.
When I was a kid, my grandmother used to use an assembly line approach when she had a bunch of us grandkids visiting in the summer-for breakfast, she'd put a bowl of huevos con chorizo, a bowl of refried beans, a bowl of rice, picante sauce and tortillas-we'd pass the stuff around and make our own breakfast tacos. You had to be fast, though or the older kids would get all the eggs and sausage and all you'd be left with was rice and beans for your tacos.
too funny, saving FReeper marriages and keeping FReeper children from starving during more active FReeper episodes. LOL.
Thanks!
