Cooking Beef With the Crock Pot

When you think of having beef for dinner you probably see the little white smiling glove signaling another night with everyone’s quick fix dinner routine, or you see the golden arches everywhere before your eyes. If you’re a little more adventurous you might cook a steak or two every few months but anything outside of ground beef is usually beyond your reach, your style and the abilities of your cookbook and microwave to make happen without causing a huge disaster or creating a meal that no one wants to eat.

In reality, in doesn’t have to be this way. If you’re willing to venture out into the realm of something even easier than hamburgers and other ground beef entrees, there is a way to make a beef meal that seems less like it took five minutes and more like it came from a restaurant. Not ready to spend two hours over the stove or oven every night? Like I said, this method is actually easier than microwave meals.

Using a slow cooker, or crock pot, to make your dinners will not only open doors for you with the types of foods you’re able to cook but there are literally hundreds of beef crock pot recipes that require less than 15 minutes to prepare. You’re thinking that 15 minutes of prep usually leads to at least one hour spent over the stove. But with slow cookers, you simply prepare the meal in the morning, set the slow cooker and go about your daily business while the machine you left in the back of the cupboard for five years works magic with a different beef slow cooker recipe every time you want to cook beef for dinner.

Slow cookers can take care of all of your beef slow cooker recipes that cover every type of beef, from beef stew to steaks to beef ribs and even beef pot pies and other types of beef recipes you can find in your regular cook books—you can turn any recipe into a crock pot recipe, slow cooker cook books and all over the internet.

As if that’s not enough, with beef slow cooker recipes, you will never have to worry about dry, flavorless, tough to chew and tough to cut beef meals. Slow cookers do just that—cook your food slowly, so you don’t have to worry about extreme heats depleting the natural juices (or the natural nutritional value) of the foods you cook, especially when it comes to meats.

Additionally, making homemade meals with your slow cooker doesn’t just save your taste buds. It also saves your time. You can make enough food from a beef crock pot recipe, especially something like beef stew, for enough leftovers for the next day’s lunch. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that slow cookers always turn out better leftovers than double-microwave meals.

Remember, if beef is what’s for dinner, you don’t have to go the ground beef route. You can save time and your taste buds with your slow cooker.
