No joke on the easy part, it was just like on the TV infomercials throw it in a pot set it and forget it lol.
I got the wife to take 2 tacos for breakfast this morning and she said they were so so, but she has never had barbacoa before, probably not her favorite, but I thought it was great. My little boy, just turned 4 refused to try it. Kids are weird like that. My 4 yr old baby girl is the same way.

I've never heard of cheek meat.. The cheeks have the richest flavor, more than any other cut of beef. Thanks. I guess that's why I call her "Sweet Cheeks". LOL

Buy 2 packs of cheek meat. Pat dry with paper towels. Put in crockpot. Season with salt and pepper. Chop up an onion in big chunks and place on top of meat. Put about 6 peeled cloves of garlic on top of meat. Put 2 bay leaves on top of meat. Cover crockpot and cook on low about 8 hours. Take out bay leaves,onion,and garlic and discard. Shred meat with forks, it will be fall apart tender. Taste to see if you need to add salt or pepper. Chow down. tag Doing this

Where can you by cheek meat in Dallas? I assume a Mexican meat market but wouldn’t know what to ask for.

I trimmed off some of the most obscure looking parts before cooking. After cooking I tossed any large chunks of fat, shredded with a fork and then drained the liquid off of it. When I do it again I will drain the liquid before shredding. I also left out the bay leaves because ive never seen them make a difference in anything I made (no offense to those who use them) and added a little extra garlic powder. I wont add any garlic powder when I do it again... and there will surely be an again!

Man that looks good. Barbacoa Tacos w/ some spicy salsa and avocado slices. Gotta pair it with a ice cold Big Red (no ice).
Best hangover cure in the world.

Going to try this but on the smoker, give them a little smoke then braise them in a foil container.

I couldn't help it after I saw this yesterday. Stopped at HEB and put some in the crockpot last night. Had a couple tacos this morning. Also, it was made preemptively for tomorrow morning. Going to the Texans game tonight. Going to stash a big red in the fridge when I get home. Really good. But, I should have trimmed more of the fat before cooking. To many huge chunks of fat were left when it was done.

Looks great.
Yes, I try to cut off the loose fat and any of the connective tissue I can, without sacrificing the meat.

I also trimmed the fat and big connective tissue before cooking and after cooking I dug out some of the solid blobs of fat also.
I am still amazed it comes out as tender as it does.

I am still amazed it comes out as tender as it does. I could see how it would come out tender. I thought I did trim a good bit of fat off of it. But there were still chunks of it after it was done. Not a TON of it, but more than I wanted. I was just worried about trimming too much. Silly thing to be worried about I guess.

I made some last night. Fried it in a cast iron dutch oven first and cooked it down on the stove (This method cut the cook time in half). Other than the cooking method I used Skinnerback's recipe (Thanks Skinnerback!)
It's bagged up and ready for opening weekend.
