• On top of that, place the rest of the ingredients.
• We use baby carrots because we like the flavor better than regular carrots so if you use the babies, you can cut them up into whatever size you want and toss them inches Add four (4) cups water, this will provide you with an excellent broth for later.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for about 2 hours.
• Then reduce heat to LOW and let cook the rest of the day, about 6 or so hours, or until the meat is as tender as you like.
• Halfway through the cooking, you will need to stir the crock and make sure all the ingredients are stirred up.
• Serve in bowls with a crusty French Bread or rolls for sopping up the broth.
• This is GREAT for cold weather.
• An even easier variation is to place all the ingredients in an oven proof Dutch Oven, and place in a 250F degree oven overnight.
