How to Make Mommy's Carne Guisada

Step-by-Step

In Large Stew Pot, combine Water and Masa Harina over Medium heat. Stir until dissolved.

USING A CROCK POT: Dissolve Masa Harina in the Water in a seperate stew pot or microwave safe dish, then pour into crock pot. Continue recipe.
Add Salt, Black Pepper, Cumin Powder, Garlic, V8. Stir to combine.
Reduce heat to Low.
Add Meat, Onion, Green Bell Pepper, Tomato, Cilantro.
Cover and ignore for 2-4 hours.

USING A CROCK POT: Dish can be set to cook all day if you are a career mommy/daddy with a day job.
Turn off heat, let cool a few minutes before serving.
+ Yellow Bell Pepper may be substituted for Green Bell Pepper if there is a sensative stomach coming to dinner. For added mildness, remove the inner membrane before adding to the dish.
* For thicker sauce, increase this amount. Be sure to taste and adjust the rest of the seasonings to avoid any corn taste coming through.
