Notes

Tips for Success:  Beef Selection: Choose cuts like chuck roast for tenderness.

Cooking Time: For the best results, use the low setting to ensure the beef is tender and flavors meld beautifully.

Thickening the Sauce: Use flour or cornstarch mixed with water to adjust the consistency.

Flavor Boost: Add a splash of Worcestershire or soy sauce for depth.

  • Substitutions: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier sauce.
  • Optional Additions: A splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce adds depth.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months
