Notes
- Can you make them ahead?You have two options for making them ahead.
- One way is to cook the beef and onion and combine them with the rest of the ingredients. Instead of slow cooking them, store the mixture in a container and keep it in the refrigerator. Then just pop it in the crock pot when you’re ready to cook it.
- You can also do all the steps and then let the dish cool and store it in the fridge and warm them up later. Either way works!
- How long do leftovers keep?Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for three to four days.
- Can you bake them in the oven instead?Yes, you can place all of the ingredients in a baking dish and bake for about an hour at 350°F.
