Crock Pot Picadillo (Whole30) image

From www.skinnytaste.com I like this recipe because it tastes good and I can easily make it a Whole30 recipe

Provided by Mrs. Hughes

Time 8h7m

Yield 5 3/4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 lbs 93% lean ground beef
1 cup onion, minced
1 cup red bell pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup cilantro, minced
8 ounces tomato sauce
1/4 cup alcaparrado (manzilla olives, pimientos, capers) or 1/4 cup green olives
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 bay leaves
kosher salt and fresh pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Brown meat in a large deep skillet on medium-high heat; season generously with salt and a little pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into small pieces.
  • 2. When meat is no longer pink, drain all the liquid from pan. Add the onions, garlic, and bell peppers to the meat and cook an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • 3. transfer the meat to the slow cooker, then add tomato, cilantro, tomato sauce, 1 1/4 cups water, alcaparrado (or olives) [I usually add some of the brine from the jar for added flavor] then add the spices.
  • 4. Set slow cooker on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
  • 5. After it's ready, taste for salt and add more as needed .
  • 6. Discard the bay leaves and serve over brown rice. (For WHOLE30, serve over cauliflower rice.).

This picadillo was a bit too dry for my taste. I would recommend adding more liquid, such as broth or water, to the pot.

This picadillo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
