ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL COOKING APPLIANCES ARE CREATED EQUAL. THE COOKING INSTRUCTIONS WE PROVIDE WORK GREAT IN MOST BRANDS OF SLOW COOKERS AND PRESSURE COOKERS BUT YOUR RESULTS MIGHT VARY. THE FOLLOWING TIPS WILL HELP TO ENSURE THAT YOUR MEAL COOKS UP TENDER, MOIST AND DELICIOUS.

TIPS FOR COOKING IN A SLOW COOKER OR CONVENTIONAL OVEN

• AS MEAT IS COOKING CHECK PERIODICALLY TO MAKE SURE THE LIQUID IS NOT DRYING OUT TOO QUICKLY. THIS IS POSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY IF YOU ARE ONLY COOKING A SINGLE PACKAGE OF PRODUCT. IF YOU NOTICE THAT TOO MUCH OF THE SAUCE EVAPORATED DURING THE COOKING PROCESS ADD ½ TO 1 CUP OF WATER TO PREVENT THE MEAT FROM BECOMING DRY.

• COOKING A SINGLE PACKAGE OF PRODUCT IN A SLOW COOKER MAY REQUIRE A SHORTER COOKING TIME. CHECK THE PROGRESS OF HOW WELL THE MEAT IS COOKING STARTING AT ABOUT 2.5 HOURS. IF MEAT IS FORK TENDER AND A MINIMUM OF 145˚F IT IS READY TO EAT.

• IF MEAT IS NOT SHREDDING EASILY AFTER SUGGESTED COOKING TIMES IT MAY NEED TO BE COOKED A LITTLE LONGER.

Enjoy BARBACOA BEEF in a wrap, a soft or hard taco or in a quesellia. Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, avocado, olives or your favorite salsa. It can also be served on top of prepared rice with a splash of lime along side a quick corn salad.
