Slow-Cooker Shredded Beef Lettuce Cups image

The slow cooker is our summertime go-to for cool kitchen cooking. After swim lessons and outdoor activities, it's so nice to come back to a tasty, light dinner. If you can't find Bibb or Boston, green leaf lettuce is less sturdy but can work in a pinch. -Elisabeth Larsen, Pleasant Grove, Utah

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. The beef was very tender and flavorful, and the lettuce cups were a fun and different way to serve it. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The beef was very tender and the flavors were great. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

I'm not a big fan of lettuce cups, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The beef was very tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I would definitely make this again, but I would serve it over rice instead of lettuce cups.
