Is it true if you cook meat in a slow cooker you can't over cook it. Even if you leave it cooking 1-2 hours over the cooking time? Hope you answer this question for me. Thanks This stew looks great!!! Is it true if you cook meat in a slow cooker you can’t over cook it. Even if you leave it cooking 1-2 hours over the cooking time?

I rarely find time to make a 'real' dinner for my wife and I, and when I do, it's certainly not a pot roast simmere for hours and hours. I've got an interesting suggestion that some folks might find a little weird, but I assure you, it's magic. Try replacing half of the beef stock with2 cups Dr. Pepper, ordinary soda, and instead of Worcestershire, add a Tsp. of Anise, whole, in a sachet. The result is a slightly sweet, but still very savory beef dish that tastes great. In practice, the extended cooking time breaks down the syrupy, sugary soda and lends a lovely deep brown caramel color to the whole dish.

Just a note though, don't serve it with a fork and a spoon, serve with a fork and lots of crusty bread to soak up the extra liquid. YUMMY!
