Crock Pot Beef

Feb 22

This is one of the first times I have used my slow cooker this winter season.  Doesn’t make sense, right? I should  be using it all the time in the winter, but I’m gone for longer than 8-10 hours most days, so it doesn’t quite work out with the slow cookers.  I had one epic fail, and everything was super burnt. But a Saturday/Sunday is a perfect day for a slow cooker, especially when it’s a chilly out!

This recipe is super easy too. Throw everything in the crock pot– cover it with and chicken broth.  Perfectly cooked 8-10 hours later. Now if only my crock pot had a timer….
