THE TEX-MEX SLOW COOKER

100 Delicious Recipes for Easy Everyday Meals

Chili con carne, carnitas, borracho beans—Tex-Mex cooking is irresistibly delicious, but it takes time to build up those layers of flavor. It’s a job tailor-made for the slow cooker.

In The Tex-Mex Slow Cooker , recipe developer and blogger Vianney Rodriguez lets her favorite appliance do the work for stewed-all-day results with half the effort.

Beans and chili simmered for hours? Check. Tamale casserole? Check. Bright, complex salsa verde? Check.
