Recipe of the Day! Crock Pot Ropa Vieja

"The name for this vinegary meat stew literally means "old clothes," a reference to the way the beef shreds into strands in the rich sauce."

I got this recipe from WW years ago and my husband LOVES IT.  I'm not so wild on it, I find the meat to be a little chewy but it has a nice flavor and it's an easy meal to conjure up.  My husband is allergic to apples so I leave those out and I forgot the damn red pepper so the meat is lacking some color haha. 

I made black beans on the side and brown rice for the hubby.  I ate before my husband so what's pictured below is his (first) plate!  He went back two more times!  lol  Here's the link to the recipe: http://www.weigh****chers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recip eid=110251

 

Additionally, have you all learned about these bad boys? 

LOVE THEM!  Makes clean up SO EASY!  Yeah they are plastic but they DON'T MELT...they are seriously amazing and I use them ALL.THE.TIME.  Buy them and love them!

Happy cooking!

Wow Danielle, that looks delicious and NO I did NOT know about the slow cooker liners! That could really change things for me because I know I'd use the crockpot more if I didn't have to think about cleanup so much.

Hey there, great name! ;)  hehe

Yes, love the liners!!! I totally use my crock pot more now because of them!
