Adobe Shredded Beef
It's spicy and delicious.

Ingredients:
2lb roast- I used Chuck because I had it.
2 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper
1 bottle of beer, 12oz
2 chipotle peppers in adobe sauce, minced
2 tbsp adobe sauce from the peppers

Process:
Warm oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the roast and brown on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the beer, peppers, and adobe sauce to the stockpot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover tightly with a lid. Simmer for 2 1/4- 2 1/2 hours, until fork tender.
Remove the roast and shred. Bring the remaining liquid to a boil and then reduce heat to medium and cook for 10min until reduced to 1 1/2 cups of liquid.
Pour the liquid over the shredded beef and serve.

Use for tacos or any meal that is delicious with spicy beef. We served it with roasted red pepper and sweet potato soup.

Loaded Potato and Buffalo Chicken Cassarole

Cheese and sour cream are necessary with this recipe. It's spicy!

The Ingredients:
2-3 Large Sweet Potaotes (the white ones, not yams)
2 Large Chicken Breasts
4 Slices of bacon
1 Cup Shredded Cheese
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Pepper
1 Tbsp Paprika
2 Tbsp Garlic Powder
4 Tbsp Frank's Red Hot Sauce (or Franks's Wing Sauce, less spicy, still delicious)

The Process:
Heat your oven to 500degrees. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into chunks. In a small bowl combine the olive oil, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and hot sauce. If it is super thick add a little more olive oil. Coat the sweet potatoes with 2/3 of the sauce mix. Put potatoes in a greased baking dish and bake for 25-30min, until soft.
While the potatoes are cooking dice the chicken and cook in a skillet. When it is cooked add the rest of the sauce mix and saute for a minute or two to combine.
Chop the bacon into small pieces and saute until crispy. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are done remove them from the oven, add the chicken, top with the cheese. Return to the oven and broil on low until the cheese is melty.
Remove from oven and garnish with bacon.

Serve with sour cream. You can also garnish with green onions.

It sounds like a lot of work and dishes but the sauce is a quick mix and you can rinse the chicken pan and reuse it to cook the bacon. And it's delicious so its worth it.
