Tips

• Extra flavor: Sear the beef in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before adding to the slow cooker to deepen flavor.

• Cheesy twist: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or Parmesan over the top during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

• Vegetable variation: Add carrots or mushrooms for a heartier dish.
