Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I switch out the veggies?
Absolutely! Use firm veggies like cauliflower, celery, or peas that can hold up during long cooking.
→ Is it possible to prepare in advance?
Sure, just cook the beef and cut the veggies the night before. Keep them in the fridge and combine everything in the morning.
→ Can it cook faster on HIGH?
Yes, set it to HIGH for around 3-4 hours instead of the usual 6-8 hours on LOW.
→ What cheese would you recommend?
Sharp cheddar has amazing flavor, but most cheeses that melt well will work nicely.
→ Can I keep leftovers in the freezer?
Definitely! Just seal any leftovers in airtight containers, and they’ll keep for about 3 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
