Canadian Living Slow Cooker cookbook to the rescue...I had some ground beef and needed a quick and easy meal that could cook for at least eight hours. We decided to try the Picadillo (minus the olives).


Do you see that? I asked Alex to pick up two packages of beef...I don't want to know how long it took him to find two packages that were EXACTLY the same weight...


Hello ugly, old, energy inefficient stove. So glad you live somewhere else now!


This is the only part that makes this recipe slower than I would like - browning the beef before you put it in the pot. I know why it's important, but I still prefer slow cooker recipes that have no prep...guess I'm lazy!


I often get this stuff ready the night before...then I can just dump it all in the slow cooker and leave the house...see above re: LAZY!


There it is...ready to cook while I work.

So, I forgot to take pictures of this when it was done…silly me! I made this back before we realized the slow cooker had decided it only wanted to work on high, so it was a bit black around the top and sides, but (and I’m not sure how this happened) the middle was okay. It didn’t taste burnt or anything...

We had it with rice and in wraps. It was good and I’ll be making it again...when we have a slow cooker that cooks on low!
