This easy Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Beef is the perfect filling for tacos, burritos, and rice bowls and is perfect for meal prep.

If you are looking for a versatile and easy dinner recipe, this Slow Cooker Beef with Salsa Verde is it! Using just a few pantry staples and a few secrets to kicking up the flavor of store-bought salsa verde, you can make some seriously tasty shredded beef.

Normally when people think of using salsa verde in the slow cooker, salsa verde chicken is what comes to mind.

However, you can also make a really delicious Mexican shredded beef dish with salsa verde. The flavors are more subtle than the typical chipotle and dried chile beef recipes (like this Birria recipe) but equally delicious.

The tender meat can be used for tacos, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, and more.  It is also so delicious with eggs, kind of like a traditional Machaca.
