What Type of Beef Should I Use?
When you are cooking beef in a crockpot, it’s important to use a cut of meat that has good fat content and gets more tender the longer it is cooked. Beef chuck roast is perfect for this exact reason. The longer you cook it, the more tender it becomes. Chuck roast is best cooked low and slow. This leads to perfectly tender and flavorful meat.

I love using this shredded beef in burritos, enchiladas or quesadillas. Another great way to use this beef is in tacos. Set up a little build your own taco bar and everybody will be a happy camper at dinner. This beef is incredibly versatile and can be used in just about any recipe.
