Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The longer meat cooks in the slow cooker, the more tender it becomes. At the minimum cooking time, meat is easy to cut. At the maximum time, it’s perfect for shredding.
  • tip 2
    Round out this meal with corn muffins and a mixed-greens salad tossed with a fruity vinaigrette.
  • tip 3
    Save the gravy and any leftover beef for French Dip sandwiches. Layer the beef onto hoagie buns, and dip into the gravy.
