Give Yourself the Gift of Time with Crockpot Beef Recipes

Why prepare crockpot beef recipes? Let me give you five good reasons.

Reason #1 Crockpot recipes give the cook freedom all day long rather than spending hours in the kitchen. Just plop the ingredients in the slow cooker and go about your business.

Reason #2 Crockpot recipes offer unsurpassed taste. Just imagine. . . all flavors blended together in a luscious stew. No flavors are lost as when food is cooked on top the stove.

Reason #3 Crockpot recipes render the meat t-e-n-d-e-r. Want delicious meat that falls apart in your mouth? Nothing tenderizes meat like slow cooking in a crock pot!

Reason #4 Health. Fast cooking at high temperatures destroys vitamins and minerals so necessary for optimum health and well-being. LOW and SLOW are the watchwords for successful cooking of grassfed meat. In fact, crockpot beef recipes are ideal for lean grassfed beef.

Reason #5 Crockpot beef recipes save you money. You don't have to buy expensive cuts like sirloin or filet mignon to enjoy great flavor and texture. Buy shanks or shoulder roast or some other less expensive cut. In a slow cooker it will turn out tender!

That's it. Five good reasons to prepare crock pot beef recipes: time, taste, tenderness, nutrition and cost.
