🔥 Slow Cooker Chipotle Beef

Bold, Smoky, and Melt-in-Your-Mouth Delicious

When it comes to comfort food with a kick, nothing hits quite like Slow Cooker Chipotle Beef. It’s tender, juicy, and packed with deep smoky heat — thanks to the rich, earthy flavor of chipotle peppers. Whether you’re piling it into tacos, serving it over rice, or stuffing it into sliders, this dish delivers a slow-cooked punch of flavor that tastes like it took all day (because it did — and it was worth it).

Best of all? The slow cooker does the work for you. Just toss everything in, set it, and walk away. Hours later, you’ve got restaurant-quality beef that practically falls apart with a fork.

🛒 Ingredients:

  • 3–4 lbs beef chuck roast (trimmed and cut into large chunks)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2–3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (add more for heat)
  • 2 tbsp adobo sauce (from the chipotle can)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ cup beef broth (or water)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime (added at the end for brightness)

👨‍🍳 Directions:

  1. Prep the beef: Season the beef chunks generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Layer the flavor: In your slow cooker, add the sliced onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, cumin, paprika, oregano, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the beef: Place the seasoned beef on top and spoon a bit of the sauce over it.
  4. Slow cook:
    • Cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
  5. Shred and finish: Remove the beef, shred it with two forks, and return it to the sauce. Stir in the lime juice and let it soak for another 10–15 minutes before serving.

🌮 Serving Suggestions:

  • Tacos: Top with pickled onions, cilantro, and cotija cheese
  • Burrito bowls: Serve over rice with beans, corn, avocado, and salsa
  • Sliders or sandwiches: Add slaw for crunch and balance
  • Loaded nachos: Perfect for game day
  • Meal prep: Keeps beautifully in the fridge or freezer for fast meals all week
