A slow-cooker recipe that's full of flavor and perfect for any time of the year.
I use a Ninja 4-in-1 cooking system which allows me to sear my meat and then simply switch the dial over to slow cook and back again for reducing the cooking juices. But you can absolutely use a skillet on the stovetop to sear your meat before transferring it to the crock. Just make sure you scrap any stuck on bits off the pan and put in the slow cooker with your meat. You can also reduce your juices in a skillet or small pot on the stove at the end of slow cooking.
