Tips for Success

Low and Slow for Tender Beef – Cooking on low heat allows the beef to become perfectly tender.
Baby Potatoes Hold Their Shape – Use baby potatoes to prevent mushiness; they hold up well in the slow cooker.
Butter Matters – Light butter still brings richness without the extra calories.
Sear for Extra Flavor (Optional) – For a deeper flavor, sear the beef in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
