Slow cooker shredded beef
Let me tell you that any kind of beef is excellent for slow cooking, but you can go for cheaper meat if you like. The only way of cooking raw beef in the crock pot is to put the thing raw, close the lid and wait till the meat finished and perfectly tender. The meat needs to be cooked on LOW for a few hours so that the meat becomes juicy instead of tough.
