❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make this in a slow cooker?
A: Absolutely! Brown the meat first for best flavor, then transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
Q: What cuts of beef work best?
A: Chuck roast, stew meat, or bottom round all work beautifully—you want well-marbled, tougher cuts that become tender with slow cooking.
Q: Can I add other vegetables?
A: Of course! Parsnips, turnips, green beans, or mushrooms would all be wonderful additions.
Q: How long does this keep?
A: Refrigerate for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. The flavors actually improve overnight!
