Tips

Crock pot method: Place all ingredients in crock pot and cook according to crock pot instructions. Use slow cooker liners to prevent excessive browning around edges of food and for easier clean up.

Leftovers: Cut meat and vegetables in bite size pieces. Add broth and heat until bubbly for a tasty stew.

Chuck beef cuts are usually economical. They are flavorful and tender when slow cooked. Some popular cuts are: Chuck Eye Roast, Arm Roast, Round Bone, 7 Bone Roast or Cross Rib Roast
