Notes
- We loved using our 6 Qt Crock Pot for this recipe as it gave us enough room for everything.
- We also used our Chopstir Nylon Chopper halfway through to break up the beef very easily.
- At the end, we sprinkled our beef out on a couple Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum Commercial Baker's Half Sheets to cool.
- If you don't like clean up with the crock pot, you can also consider using this slow cooker with a non-stick surface OR the very popular Slow Cooker Liners
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
