- Use a flavorful liquid like beef broth or apple cider vinegar to enhance the taste of the meat.
- Add aromatic vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker for extra flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker; give the meat enough space to cook evenly.
- Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, depending on the recipe.
- Let the meat rest for 15-20 minutes before shredding to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the pulled beef on toasted buns with your favorite BBQ sauce and toppings.
