Notes
- Use baby Yukon gold potatoes for their creamy texture and even cooking.
- Seasoned salt adds both salt and a blend of spices; adjust amount to your taste or substitute with regular salt and additional spices if preferred.
- Butter cut into pads melts evenly, enhancing flavor and moisture throughout the cooking process.
- Keep the beef and potatoes separated in the slow cooker for even seasoning and cooking.
- Dish can be doubled for larger gatherings; increase cooking time slightly if needed.
