My husband and I and even our kids are really into lettuce wraps lately (see these Buffalo pork lettuce wraps and these Asian turkey lettuce wraps with Sriacha).  They are easy to make and have lots of texture and color.  They are fairly light and taste good to me in the summer.  These particular wraps have lots of delicious toppings which is great because everyone in the family can just pick and choose what they want (and what they don’t want).

With these wraps I started with a chuck roast and used my Blendtec to make it into ground meat.  Have you ever tried using your blender to make ground chicken, ground pork or ground beef?  It’s amazing!  You just put up to 2 lbs of boneless meat in the blender and then pulse it until it gets to the desired consistency.  I was able to buy the beef chuck roast for cheaper than I could buy lean ground beef.  So I just ground it myself. Game changer for sure.    
Crockpot Korean beef lettuce wraps are super easy to make and super fun to eat!

5 tsp chili garlic sauce
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice (+ more for serving)

3.  Pour mixture into the slow

hours, or until beef is cooked through.  Break up the meat with a spoon.
 Drain off any excess liquid.  Add salt and pepper to taste and extra
lime juice to taste.

middle of a large lettuce leaf.  Top with desired toppings (listed above).

    To UNKNOWN- Because it’s a Korean dish & believe it or not they don’t have a huge issue w/ diabetes. It’s how you eat as a whole so please don’t criticize one recipe. Let us enjoy it without your judgements. Leave it out if you don’t want it. Why ruin it for other people. These are food blogs about food that actually may contain sugar. We don’t need the food shaming police.

    Good recipe, but the added salt & sugar are not needed. Soy Sauce & Hot Sauce are loaded with salt. With so many people getting Diabetes why add any sugar.
