Keywords: For added flavor, consider including vegetables like carrots or potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days; reheat with a splash of broth to retain moisture. Feel free to experiment with spices; rosemary or a splash of orange juice can add unique flavors!
