As with any crock pot recipe, it’s better to brown the meat first. This time, doing so with some tomato and ketchup would save the red color, hence, make it more creepy serving next to those witches fingers.

For seasoning, soy sauce is used and wine is add for that extra flavor, but you are free to replace with your normal choice of seasoning.

Seasoning beef

After browning, just throw everything into your slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. I always have this set up the night before, so that it’s ready the next morning then can be heated up in a crockpot to serve for lunch party. That’s why it’s a good idea to go light on seasoning and wait till the last minute to adjust with some salt and freshly ground pepper.

Chili can also be added to enhance the flavor if your party is an all-adult or have some spice resistance.

Bread would be the best choice to serve along side, however, you can cook up some non-wheat pasta or noodle as well. Just make sure to have a bowl of chopped cilantro to garnish and/or sprinkle on top.
