I am going to try this recipe, looks delicious. My crock pot season is in the summer when it is too hot to use the oven. In the cold season I find using the oven helps heat the house up and gives it a nice aroma of cooked food.
I totally agree, Jacqueline! Thanks for stopping by!
Could someone tell me what temp they set their crockpots on for this? Low? Medium? High?
Because of the cook time im gonna say its low.
Thank you so much !
Lisa I just noticed it says low in step 5. I totally missed it also.
It is better if you use 2 cups beef brother with the rest of ingredients.
Hi Lisa, Yes, Low 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
So the lid is on the whole time, right?
