Slow Cooker Beef Bone Broth

I rarely make homemade broth because I’m so lazy that I’d rather just crack open a can. However, I’ll admit that making beef broth using your slow cooker is really easy and requires almost no hands-on time at all.

Ingredients

  • 2 carrots chopped medium
  • 2 celery stalks chopped medium
  • 7 garlic cloves smashed
  • pounds beef bones
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Diamond Crystal kosher salt 
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar optional
  • water

Instructions

  • Prep your veggies and dump them in the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker. Drop in the beef bones on top and tuck in the bay leaves, sprinkle on some salt, and drizzle vinegar.
  • Add enough water in the slow cooker to cover everything.
  • Program the slow cooker to cook on low for 8-10 hours.
  • When the broth is ready, pour it through a strainer and discard the solids.
  • You can lade some out to drink or cook with now or you can store the liquid in a large container for later! The broth will keep in the fridge for a few days and in the freezer for several months.
