- Pour in your beef broth mixture and let it all come to a simmer before covering with the lid.
- Put your dutch oven in the preheated oven and cook for 3 to 3.5 hours. Make sure to use oven mitts as the handles to the Dutch oven will be extremely hot.
- After the cooking time is up, pull out your dutch oven and ENJOY!
