Notes

 
  • Browning the Beef – Browning and searing the beef before adding it to the crock pot adds additional flavor to the meet. If you’re short on time, this step is optional.
  • Fresh Herbs vs. Dried – Use 2 teaspoons of dried parsley if you don’t have fresh.
  • Diced Tomatoes – Diced tomatoes come in other varieties such as Italian, Mexican, Chili Ready, and Fire Roasted . Use plain or flavored for what your family likes.
