Tips

After making this, I would cut the broth to 2 cups, maybe 1.


Directions

1) Cook bacon until crispy, then set to drain on paper towels. DO NOT DRAIN PAN.

2) Chop bacon.

2) Reheat drippings to medium-high heat if necessary then brown meat. May need to cut skirts in half depending on size of pan.

4) Place bacon and steak into slow cooker.

5) In a large bowl, combine all other ingredients.

6) Pour mix into the slow cooker

7) Cook covered, on low, for 7-9 hours or until the meat is tender.

8) Shred beef with two forks then return to slow cooker

9) Cook on high for 1 hour then serve.

Best served on a bed of rice! :)
