Slow Cooker Carnitas recipe
2

Dice the onions, pepper, and broccoli. Mince the garlic. Strain and rinse the beans.
3

Saute the beef until browned. Remove from pan and strain and remove excess fat. Saute the pepper and onion for about 8 minutes, stirring often. Add in the garlic and chili powder and stir well.
4

Add all the remaining ingredients. Mix well and bring to a simmer. If it does not have enough liquid, add in some more beer or even water, but remember, after it simmers while covered, it will become more liquidy.
5

Simmer covered for 45 minutes to an hour. Check occasionally to monitor the amount of liquid, and add more if needed.

Serve with cheese!
