Lime wedges: If you like a little zing to your tacos, serve them with fresh lime juice. Lime wedges are a visually stunning way to add a citrusy bite. One night I was feeling adventurous (and by adventurous I mean I had my hair down for the second time this entire year and actually wore mascara). Anyhoo, I decided to experiment with my bone broth and the leftover (mushy) carrots strained from the liquid. Here is my “throw-it-together-carrot-cheesy-sauce” that ended up being delicious. Brisket: I recommend using 3-4 pounds of brisket for this beef brisket taco recipe—the perfect size for six servings. When selecting your taco brisket, find a piece of meat with significant marbling and a layer of fat on top for extra flavor. Size: Slow cookers must be filled at least halfway to cook effectively. Most slow-cooker recipes are developed for use with a five- or six-quart unit. If you consistently cook for a crowd, there are bigger slow cookers, too.

Serve: Divide the overnight oats among four bowls. Top each off with fresh fruit, nut butter, or other favorite toppings. If you made your slow-cooking oats in mason jars, serve them in the jars with your toppings of choice. Avoid over-mixing your meat. You only want to mix until the ingredients have just combined. Mixing too much will make the meatloaf tough. I won’t go on and on about how beneficial bone broth is, or how delicious it tastes, or that you don’t have to be an earthy tree-hugging DIY’er to make your own bone broth. I WILL show you how easy it is with these 10 foolproof steps and photos. 10 Easy Steps for Foolproof, Slow Cooker Bone Broth

How to cook a boneless turkey breast in your slow cooker

I should also note: the turmeric is optional. It gives the turkey a golden yellow color that I think is gorgeous, especially because it’s hard to get nice color on a slow cooked breast (roasting in the oven makes golden, crispy skin all over). But if you don’t have it, or if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of the yellow spice (which does stain), just leave it out! Discard the bones and vegetables.*Optional – save the soft carrots for a side dish or carrot cheese sauce Pasta: The classic elbow macaroni noodle is ideal, but you can actually use other short pasta shapes too. Peppers: Spice lovers will love the addition of jalapeno or poblano peppers to this easy taco recipe. Chop your peppers well, and you’re good to go!

Taste for seasoning : There are two times I recommend tasting this recipe for seasoning: First, just after shredding your meat, and then second, when the sauce is fully reduced after the simmering time is fully completed. Since we are “cooking off” most of the liquid, adding seasonings to the sauce too soon may produce an overly salty sauce. Pepper: We usually use freshly ground pepper, but I have made this soup with white pepper on occasion, and really like that too. But wait, there's more - that baked custard can be sprinkled with sugar, torched until it has a burnt caramelized candy top, and you have crème brûlée.Make ahead: You can prepare this brisket taco recipe up to 2 days in advance.

Freeze: To make this recipe a freezer meal, bring the leftover stew to room temperature and store it in airtight, freezer-safe containers in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.

This is especially necessary if you are cooking it overnight. Stir your oatmeal before serving: Because slow cookers don’t mix their ingredients during the cooking process, stirring your slow cooker oats is essential for creamy, lump-free oatmeal. Assemble shredded beef tacos: Lay out a tortilla, and add a helping of shredded brisket. Drizzle the meat with a tablespoon of the sauce, and then add your favorite toppings on top of the tacos. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
