Good morning Restlesschipotle. I am a 64 year disabled guy who has been the cook for my wife and I for 34 years. As you I usually just end up throwing it the slow cooker. I've never heard of a guajillo chile is there a substitute? I live outside of Chicago in Indiana and can't believe I haven't heard of a guajillo chile. Thank you, when I make this I'll let you know and rate this recipe.

Hmmm... you could use a chipotle. It would be a little different but still very good. OR you could leave it out completely!

We use beer all the time for marinades. One of my favorites is beer and Italian dressing marinated chuck roast on the grill. So good. I can't wait to try this marinade!Reply
Marye Audet
That sounds so good, Christie! I've marinated London Broil in Italian dressing but never added beer. Definitely going to try it!
