Notes
- This beef ragu is freezer-friendly! First, plan on making this slow cooker beef ragu for dinner sometime this week. When you shop for ingredients (make sure to shop your kitchen first, before going to the store!), make sure you have double of everything.
- As you load the slow cooker for dinner, load up a resealable bag for the freezer too.
- You can also double and freeze your side dishes.
- When you’re ready to make slow cooker beef ragu for dinner, simply thaw it in the fridge overnight (along with your side dishes!). Dump it in the slow cooker in the morning. Let it cook all day and serve when you get home. That’s it!
