  4. Add beef broth:

    Add the beef broth to the crockpot, making sure all ingredients are fully covered.

  5. Slow cook:

    Put the lid on and cook on low heat for 7 to 8 hours.

  6. Season and serve:

    Give it a stir, taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot alongside rice or bread.
