Tips to Making the Best Slow Cooker Recipes:
If you want the your slow cooker meals to turn out rich, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked every time, here are a few simple tricks that make all the difference.
Brown your meat first:
If you have time searing your meat before adding it to the slow cooker will give your dish a deeper and more developed flavor. While all my recipes will work without that step it is a small step that makes a big impact.
Avoid lifting the lid:
Everyone you lift the lid to peek in on your recipe you release heat and add cooking time. Make sure to keep the lid closed until closer to the end of the recipe when you are checking to see if it’s done.
