Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To test potatoes’ tenderness without releasing too much heat from the slow cooker, slightly lift lid, and slide bamboo skewer into center of mixture. Potatoes should be very tender.
  • tip 2
    To ensure even cooking of potatoes, make sure to fully cover potatoes with beef mixture.
