Ingredients
- 3 pounds chuck roast, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 medium potatoes, unpeeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 red bell peppers, cut into strips
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups beef broth
Instructions
- Combine beef, potatoes, onion, peppers, and garlic in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Toss the beef mixture with the flour mixture until evenly coated. Place the mixture into a slow cooker, and pour in enough beef broth to barely cover the meat. If you don’t have quite enough, you can fill the rest of the way with water.
- Cook on Low until the beef is tender, 6 to 8 hours.

There is only 1 problem: it smells so GOOD while it’s cooking that it’s hard to wait until dinner! I’ve made this now twice, pretty much following the recipe. My changes are minor: I use some sassy-hot New Mexican red chile powder, so I cut that down to 2-3 tsp or it’s too hot for us, yellow potatoes, and gluten-free flour. First time I made it, I couldn’t believe it when my daughters (who don’t care for spicy foods) said that it was really good! My husband and son loved it. It’s perfect for chilly fall and winter dinners. I serve it with a salad and gluten-free cornbread. So good!
Added one can of Rotel. Very easy crockpot recipe!! We loved it!!
Made it based upon the recipe. First, it’s easy. But it’s just OK. The gravy is greasy. I used chuck steak. I think the next time, I’d trim the fat from the beef. The flavor is nothing special.
Flavor was great! This is one of my boyfriend’s favorite dishes so I was scared of the turnout! It was surprisingly delicious!!! Would definitely make again!!!
I used ground turkey instead of the beef due to gout and it was delicious. My family really enjoyed it.
I ALWAYS use this recipe when cooking carne guisada, it is so delicious!. Awesome flavor and it makes my house smell sooo good!! While everyone makes carne guisada a different way, I prefer and LOVE to make mine like this!! I highly recommend trying it! You will fall in love.
I followed the recipe because, as others point out, you can’t fairly and accurately rate something when you make a lot of adjustments. I was disappointed with the way this turned out. It was more like a beef stew than what I consider carne guisada. It was WAY too soupy for me and lacked the flavor of restaurant – purchased carne guisada. I might consider making this again and using others’ suggestions…unless I find a better recipe. Otherwise, just add a few more veggies, and you have an okay stew.
Oh my goodness!!! This was my very first time making Carne guisada and I loved this recipe. I cooked it for some friends of ours and my husband said, “are you sure you want to do this for them as your first time”. Needless to say he loved it and said he wants me to keep making it.
This was really good and very easy. We will definitely be making it again. I made it exactly as written except I added a chopped jalapeño – we like our food spicy!
Followed the recipe exactly and it tastes nothing like the Carne Guisada you get here in Texas. The seasoning is bland, and the gravy was more like a soup. Very Disappointing.
I’ve made this adding Mexican oregano and oh emm gee, delish!
Great recipe. I used venison roast instead of beef and it turned out well.
Love the gravy – very hearty! I used a chuck steak, just trimmed it and the end result was very little fat. I didn’t use potatoes, I put in two large tomatoes. Then baked a few potatoes, opened them up and put this wonderful stew over them.
As soemone who has made this the original Latino way I have to unfortunately say this was TOO BLAND for me! Latino food is all about seasoning which this really has none. I had to add the ingredients I usally use to it to bring it up to par. You have to go to hispanic stores or a really good Kroger to find these but TRUST ME it makes all the difference in the world. I’ll make this again just the orginal way.
I have used this recipe to make delicious and authentic carne guisada at least twice a month for 2 years. It reminds me of the carne guisada in the Jesse Special at Mama Panchiata’s, a recipe I’ve tried to recreate unsuccessfully until I came across this one. I cried when they closed down in 2012 because I thought I would never again have carne guisada so good. Not so, thanks to this recipe! This carne guisada is packed with flavor that melds together perfectly. The sauce is delicious! My only teeny tiny complaint is the thickness of the sauce – I usually end up whisking in some cornstarch or extra flour at the end to thicken it up a bit. But that’s personal preference so I still give 5 stars. What I’m trying today is whisking together the flour/spices/beef broth (I use water and bullion cubes) and pouring it over the meat and veggies to see if that helps. The sauce does seem a ton thicker this way so far – less soupy and more like stew. Fingers crossed! I can’t wait for it to finish cooking so I can eat!!!!! I serve this with fresh tortillas (get the fridge pack and fry them up in the pan – it totally makes the meal) and eggs (scrambled or fried over medium) and sometimes cheese enchiladas to complete the Jesse Special experience. However I can’t nail the cheese enchiladas so that’s a recipe I’m still looking for. Overall, this is a great recipe and you won’t be disappointed.
Great Recipe, ILENEFAITH1, thanks for sharing. I added a 4 jalapenos for an extra kick. I served it with flour tortillas, rice and homemade refried beans…thanks for sharing 🙂
This tasted more like regular pot roast, it did not have much of the Mexican food taste.
What an easy, flavorful meal. I made it as described and it turned out delicious. Very mild heat but lots of flavor. We will be making this again. I read several of the reviews before making this, and had a few concerns. I am very glad I didn’t make any changes. Perfect the way it is!
Followed recipe exactly and it came out great! Flavorful, and it made great burritos!
Great taste and the whole family loved it. Needed more spice but can add that next time.
Great taste,my whole family loved it.
