Steph's Slow Cooker Beef Mole

My husband owns a Mexican restaurant, so I'm always in the kitchen trying out new things. This recipe is a big hit with our customers! If you like it spicy, just add more hot sauce. I've even tried it with diced jalapenos and it's fabulous! I like to serve this dish with warm flour tortillas.
