Notes
For extra flavor in your Crockpot Garlic Butter Beef Bites with Potatoes, consider adding a sprinkle of onion powder or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the butter mixture. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove some liquid at the end and thicken it with a cornstarch slurry. This dish is naturally gluten-free if you ensure your beef broth (if using any, though not in this recipe) is certified GF. Don’t crowd the slow cooker for best results!
