Thanks for the recipe! I think I will make this and the french dip at the same time to have soup and sandwich.

I’m sorry but the soy sauce ruined this recipe. I threw the whole thing out. However, I made it again without the soy sauce and it was divine!

  Some people really don’t love soy sauce in recipes… I get it. I’m glad you had success on the next batch!! Love my slow cooker so much in winter 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie
