Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Learn how to make Mexican menudo in your crock pot. This traditional recipe features tripe, calf's foot, and posole, slow-cooked with onion, garlic, and mild red chile for a hearty and flavorful meal.

2 pounds tripe
1 calf's foot
1 pound frozen posole (similar to white hominy, may substitute it)
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 dried mild red chile
1/2 teaspoon oregano
salt and pepper, to taste
Cut the tripe into bite-sized pieces. Soften the chile in hot water. Remove the stem and seeds (if desired) and mince. Throw everything into the crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until tender.
Serve in soup bowls with fresh minced serrano chile peppers, minced onion, small-dice fresh cabbage, and dried oregano.
