Notes
If you're short on time, you can skip browning the beef and add it straight into your crockpot. The flavor won't be as rich, but it will still taste delicious.
Tip: If you want to avoid any last-minute prep, cut the veggies while you sear the beef and store them in a covered container in your fridge. Half an hour before dinner, take them out of your fridge and put them in your crockpot.
