Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Serve with lime wedges.
  • tip 2
    Ask your butcher for an affordable beef stew meat. Slow cooker infuses flavor while cooking any meat cut deliciously.
  • tip 3
    If using fresh marjoram or thyme leaves, 1/2 teaspoon dried leaves equals 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh leaves.
  • tip 4
    If using a round 4 1/2-quart slow cooker, it might take 1 hour longer. The 5-quart oval will take the same time as step 3.
