Freezer Prep Directions:

Slow Cooker Directions:
  • Thaw freezer bag in fridge 12-24 hours before cooking.

  • Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
  • Stir beef directly in the pot to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the sauce.

Instant Pot Directions
  1. Dump the contents of the freezer bag into the Instant Pot, add 1/2 cup water.
  2. Set to High Pressure for 35 minutes, then allow a 10-minute natural release followed by a quick release. 
  3. Stir beef directly in the pot to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the sauce.
