Sear or don’t sear your meat and then add it to the crockpot on the Low setting.

Carefully pour in your beef broth, seasonings, peppers & juice, and butter.

Gently give it a stir to mix up all the seasonings in with the juice.

Cover with the lid and let cook on Low for about 7 hours before adding in baby carrots and baby potatoes.

Cook for another 2-3 hours on low or until the meat falls apart with a fork, and you can easily cut into potatoes and carrots. If they’re still tough, you will need to cook it a little longer or crank the heat up to High to quickly finish cooking the veggies through.

When it’s ready and fork-tender, you can pick out the onion and celery and peppers, or you can leave them in there. I do both, depending on how lazy I’m feeling!

Serve with any side of choice, mashed potatoes, salad, whatever you choose. My favorite side is just some cooked white rice that I cook in chicken broth with a little salted butter so it’s got a delicious flavor, even on its own. Buttered bread is always a main attraction here in the south, with any meal!
