Notes
For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the slow cooker. If you prefer a thicker au jus, you can mix in a cornstarch slurry at the end of cooking. Experiment with different cheeses, such as mozzarella or cheddar, for a twist on the classic. For a spicy version, add jalapeños or pepper jack cheese. For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef with mushrooms or jackfruit cooked in a vegetable broth.
