Notes

[‘Brown the beef in a skillet before adding it to the crockpot for enhanced flavor.’, ‘Cut vegetables evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.’, ‘Add frozen peas at the end to keep them bright and tender.’, ‘Mash a few cooked potatoes to naturally thicken the broth if needed.’, ‘Adjust seasoning after cooking to taste.’]
