Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    When you strain the liquid in the cooker, set some of it aside. If the meat seems a little dry, stir some of the liquid back in.
  • tip 2
    Make up a plate of condiments, including red onion rings, tomato slices and Cheddar and Swiss cheese, so diners can dress their own sandwiches. Don’t forget the ketchup, mustard and pickle relish, too!
  • tip 3
    Make this recipe the day before your gathering and put it in the fridge. Reheat it on the stove just before serving.
  • tip 4
    The meat mixture will hold on your slow cooker's low heat setting up to 2 hours, with occasional stirring.
