Crockpot Shredded Beef

Mar 21, 2015 15 Comments

Crockpot shredded beef is the perfect protein for Mexican-inspired tacos, salads, soups, and stews. It’s easy and healthy!

When it comes to weeknight meals, I’m all about a recipe that serves a dual purpose. That means it’s not just good for a Monday night dinner, but a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday night too! This crockpot shredded beef fits that bill.

When I prepare a meal with this cook once, dine twice strategy, I almost always use my crockpot. Place, pour, sprinkle, and cook. That’s all there is to a crockpot meal. And that best part? The recipe I’m sharing today [crockpot shredded beef] is a “dine thrice” in my book. Three meals are covered!

Crockpot Shredded Beef Made Once Served Thrice:

  1. My favorite way: shredded beef tacos, served with a crunchy coleslaw topping.

    Coleslaw = carrots, cabbage, red bell pepper, Greek yogurt
  2. Shredded beef tortilla soup. I swapped the shredded chicken for shredded beef in my Chicken Tortilla Soup.
  3. Shredded beef with rice. Add some corn and salsa and mix with cooked rice. Voila!

Crockpot shredded beef is dedicated to the busy home cooks that have a list of 10 things to do in one day and want to come home to a delicious, healthy meal. And more than a few nights a week.

What’s your favorite crockpot meal that stretches it’s worth all week!?

    I love making tons of any kind of protein in the crockpot to have leftovers all week for snacks and meals! This looks incredible though.

    I love to cook up a big batch of beef or chicken in a slow cooker to enjoy throughout the week. They freeze really well too! I could go for that taco right now..the coleslaw sounds delish too and super easy to whip up at the last minute 😉
