Ingredients

1 bag Cheese Bread, any flavor
1/2 C packed adobo paste
3 large tomatillos, husks removed & quartered
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 C fresh-squeezed lime juice
2 t kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 1/4 C chicken broth, divided
4 1/2 pounds beef chuck roast
1/4 C olive oil
2 large onions, sliced
2 jalapeños, sliced

1
Preheat oven to 400F.
2
Bake Cheese Bread following package instructions.
3
Combine adobo paste, tomatillos, garlic, lime juice, salt, and 1/4 cup chicken broth in a blender. Blend on high until smooth.
4
Generously season beef on all sides with salt and pepper.
5
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once shimmering add beef and brown about 4 minutes a side (you might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan)
6
Meanwhile, place onions and jalapeños on the bottom of the slow cooker.
7
Once beef is browned transfer to the slow cooker. Pour off any fat from the frying pan into a heatproof bowl. Return pan to heat and add 1 cup of the broth to the frying pan. Scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon then pour broth into the slow cooker.
8
Add adobo mixture and remaining 1 cup of broth to the slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4.
9
Beef should be fall-apart tender when done. Shred meat and serve as tacos, enchilada filling, on top of a rice bowl, or straight from the pot with a fork. Add more salt as needed.
10
Slice Cheese Bread in half and stuff each with carne adobada.
