Slow cooked Mexican Beef

Beef Shin (or whatever cheap Beef you can buy) 600g chopped into chunks
Can of Red Kidney Beans
Two large chopped chillis
A chopped capsicum
Handful of mushrooms
chopped Carrot
can of tomatos (or you could use 3-4 chopped fresh ones)
large finely sliced Onion
Some Risotto rice (1.5 cups)
Glug of Olive oil
Salt and Pepper
1 finely chopped potato


Mix everything well and bung into a slow cooker (I have a Sunbeam brand one) if you don't have one you should get one they are pretty cheap (they start at $50) and will pay for themselves by making cheap cuts of meat soft and tasty.

I put the slow cooker on 'low' at 9AM this morning and will see how it is going when I get back from work this afternoon at 6.30PM, sometimes you need to put it on high for an hour or so to finish it off.

Stired in a cup of water and some frozen peas at 6.30PM and turned the slow cooker to 'keep warm' will be ready to eat at 7.30PM.
